View and browse images

When someone pastes or attaches an image to a message, Zulip shows a small preview. Click on the image preview to open the image viewer.

In the image viewer, you can:

  • View the image at full size
  • Download the image
  • Pan and zoom
  • Browse other images in the current view. For example, if you're in a stream view, the image browser will show all the images from that stream. If you do a search, the image browser will show all images in messages that matched that search.

Exit the image viewer by clicking anywhere outside the image.

Use v to open the image viewer. Use Z and z zoom in and out of the image. Use v or Esc to close.

Troubleshooting

To open the image viewer, you must click on the image preview, not the file name.
