# SVG Zoom Viewer

SVG Zoom Viewer is an Obsidian desktop plugin that opens SVG and common image embeds in a dedicated zoomable view.

## Features

- Double-click an embedded image in reading view to open it in a dedicated leaf.
- Zoom with the mouse wheel.
- Drag to pan.
- Double-click inside the viewer to reset the transform.
- Supports `svg`, `png`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `webp`, and `gif`.

SVG files are rendered in an `iframe` so they stay closer to native vector rendering than a regular `<img>` tag.

- Desktop only.
- No network requests.
- No telemetry, tracking, analytics, or ads.
- No external service account required.

## Notes

- SVG rendering quality still depends on how Obsidian and Electron serve the source URL.
- If some SVGs still look rasterized, a future version can switch to inlining SVG markup instead of loading by URL.
