Preview a sample responsive layout scaled to common browser zoom levels from 50% to 400%, to spot reflow, overlap, and clipping issues before real users hit them.

Simulates zoom by scaling a sample layout with CSS transform — a rough visual approximation, not your actual browser's zoom rendering engine.

A short paragraph of body copy to see how text reflows and wraps as the simulated zoom level changes.
How to use it
- Drag the zoom slider or click a preset to scale the sample layout.
- Watch how the header nav, heading text, and card grid respond as the scale increases.
- Use the same intuition on your own site, then verify with real browser zoom for an accurate result.
FAQ
Does this actually zoom my browser?
No — it scales a sample layout using a CSS transform to give a quick visual sense of scale, not a true reflow simulation. For your own site, always confirm with your real browser's Ctrl/Cmd + "+" zoom, since actual reflow behavior depends on your CSS.
Why does WCAG care about 400% zoom specifically?
WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.10 (Reflow) requires content to reflow into a single column without needing horizontal scrolling when zoomed to 400% on a 1280px-wide viewport — a common benchmark for low-vision accessibility.
What layout problems typically show up at high zoom?
Fixed-width containers causing horizontal scroll, overlapping navigation items, text that overflows its container, and buttons or cards that get clipped are the most common issues that only appear once zoom passes 150-200%.
