Features
A Magnifier that thinks ahead
The most common frustration with screen magnifiers is that they get in the way of the very thing you are trying to see.
Magnifixer solves this elegantly — when your mouse cursor approaches the magnifier window, it automatically detects this
and moves itself to a free area of the screen. You never need to manually reposition it, and you never lose sight of what you are inspecting.
The window can be placed anywhere on your screen and resized to any size you need. You can run it with a full title bar, or strip it down to the magnified view and status bar alone for a cleaner, more focused experience. Even in its most minimal state, the window remains fully draggable from any part of its surface.

Precise Color Information At A Glance
Magnifixer doubles as a color picker for designers and developers. The status bar displays the color of the pixel currently under your cursor, and the color panel itself uses that color as its background — with the value rendered in a contrasting color to ensure it is always readable, regardless of whether you are hovering over a dark or light area of the screen.
Color values can be displayed in either RGB or HTML hex format, switchable instantly by right-clicking the color panel. For web designers and UI developers this alone makes Magnifixer an invaluable addition to the daily toolkit.

Flexible Display Options
Magnifixer offers zoom levels up to 40x magnification, with smooth rendering to keep the display readable even at high zoom levels.
You can overlay your actual system cursor — displayed at full magnified scale — a precision crosshair, or a pixel grid, depending on the kind of work you are doing.
Flip and invert options cover edge cases that more basic tools simply ignore.
For situations where you need the magnifier locked to a specific area rather than following your cursor, a fixed location mode is available. Dual monitor setups are fully supported.

Lightweight and Unobtrusive
Magnifixer runs in the Windows system tray and can be configured to start automatically with Windows.
Showing and hiding the window is a single click on the tray icon. All your settings are saved and
restored automatically between sessions, so the tool is always ready exactly the way you left it.
Testimonial
"I use your magnifier all the time. I am being treated for a macular degeneration condition that pretty much wipes out seeing details like the text of this message.
You created a great product and I suspect there is an untapped market among people with low vision.
I looked at other products and could not find anything that compares to your solution."
