There are some limitations, for example I haven’t been able to get it to work responsively. I can set width=”” and the width will adjust according to window size but I haven’t been able to do the same for the height yet. Either way, it’s free and works as expected! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d6a3e4d002df816d1ee816052c2418dde31a07a790e0fdd5bea07ae13b2de821? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-7905/)󠁿 [pathvader](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pathvader/) July 6, 2020 Awesome plugin. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2e23569c57829dc221f6538d76ef32ba7394c899404910b9e58be4ab5b698b2c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Wonderful plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wonderful-plugin-358/)󠁿 [rafaelmarwp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rafaelmarwp/) February 28, 2018 It is simply a wonderful and extremely useful plugin. By adding a few lines of code to a post you can have zoomable images. My website features many historic photographs and the ability to zoom in and see details is simply incredible. Keep up the good work! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/169e8517fcd35c1226ba48f5a6919c9674688f0c8bad22187bb67295424140fa? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple, easy, perfect.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-easy-perfect-3/)󠁿 [Tilman](https://profiles.wordpress.org/archeryimagesnet/) May 22, 2017 Pretty easy plugin, much easier than pasting javascript into my posts.

I am impressed by how quickly this loads on my page, and how smooth the zooming and navigation are. I had a small issue, and Alexey the plugin developer issued a fix within a few days – good work. 🙂 I just needed a little css for my theme, with this simple shortcode (if it helps anyone) – [gallery ids="331,328" openseadragon="true" width ="1076"] Use WP editor to add a gallery as normal, then edit the shortcode to add in the openseadragon parameters.
