View and browse images

When someone pastes or attaches an image to a message, Zulip shows a small preview. Click on the image preview to open the image viewer.

In the image viewer, you can:

  • Zoom in and out of the image

  • Click and drag the image

  • Reset zoom so that the image is recentered and its original size

  • Open the image in a new browser tab

  • Download the image

  • Browse other images in the current view. For example, if you're in a stream view, the image browser will show all the images from that stream. If you do a search, the image browser will show all images in messages that matched that search.

Exit the image viewer by clicking anywhere outside the image.
