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.

Troubleshooting

To open the image viewer, you must click on the image preview, not the file name.
