We have customers upload photos for us to estimate projects. Is there a way to zoom in on photographs within the attachment viewer?

My clients just started complaining that mobile images can't be zoomed in on as of this morning.

They depend on this image zoom functionality for detailed work in the field.

@ScottWorld I've got more faith in your responsiveness here than Airtable, frankly. Would you mind taking a look at this and see if it looks like a new issue?

@Shannon_Anahata Please advise, as it's actually not Scott's job.

I am not having any problems zooming in on photos in an attachment field using the mobile app. You may want to email support@airtable.com about this.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

Yeah, it's odd that Airtable doesn't allow people to zoom in & out of image attachments.

I would definitely request this as a feature to support@airtable.com.

In the meantime, you can use any operating system level zoom controls that you have access to.

For example, on the Mac, you can zoom in & out of the entire screen by pressing "command option +" and "command option -".

I don't have a PC, so I can't tell you what the equivalent would be on the PC.

I’m new to Airtable, and starting to use a database to store a catalogue of cosmetic issues found in the production of my product. I’m surprised to see that you -can’t- zoom in the PC version of airtable. 

 

Can you add this feature? It would be greatly convenient for users.
