Ultrawide Video Zoom

Resize fullscreen video to suit your screen. Fine-tune the zoom and remember your preferred setting for each website.

Make better use of your screen when fullscreen video leaves unused space around the picture. Ultrawide Video Zoom adds a discreet zoom control to supported fullscreen HTML5 video players. Enlarge the picture evenly, without stretching it sideways, and choose the amount that looks right for your screen. YOUR PICTURE, YOUR SIZE • Adjust zoom from 100% to 250% with a smooth slider. • Click the percentage, type an exact whole number and press Enter. • Fine-tune in 1% steps with the − / + buttons or slider arrow keys. • Reset to the player's original size at any time. REMEMBERS EACH WEBSITE Your last chosen percentage is saved locally for each website hostname, so it is ready next time you enter fullscreen there. Different subdomains have separate settings. OUT OF THE WAY WHILE YOU WATCH Move the pointer to reveal the small tab, then hover near the right edge to open the controls. They disappear when you stop using them or move off the window, but stay available while you hover, drag the slider or edit the percentage. Alt + Shift + Z also toggles the panel. LOCAL AND SIMPLE No account, subscription, analytics or advertising. Preferences stay in this browser profile and are not cloud-synchronised. The extension stores only a website hostname and your chosen zoom percentage; it does not send that information to the developer or a server. GET STARTED Use the video player's own fullscreen button, move the pointer near the right edge and adjust the picture size. A built-in local test player lets you try the controls without a streaming account. PLEASE NOTE This is manual zoom, not automatic black-bar removal. Narrow footage cannot fill a wider screen without cropping or distortion. Zooming does not increase the video's resolution. Some player implementations are not supported. Use the player's fullscreen mode, not just F11. Captions drawn into the video, and some native controls, may enlarge with it. Different programmes on the same website may need different settings. Requires Chrome 119 or later. Independent extension; not affiliated with any streaming service.
