Pixelscope (FREE) - Magnify A Part Of Screen on Windows 11

I don't use 'Magnifier' that comes with Windows 11 because it magnifies the entire screen. I don't see the option for a part of screen.

 

'Virtual Magnifying Glass' is the app that I have heard for a long time but when it is working, the part that is not in the glass area is bigger. That is the reason I don't like it.


The two pictures above, the first one, there is a recycle bin but it disappears in the second picture when the app is working.

Dynamic mode of 'Virtual Magnifying Glass' doesn't work on my machine. It claims that this mode lets you use the keyboard and mouse while the magnifying glass is working.

The information from the website doesn't show the license, but 'softpedia.com' lists it as a freeware.

1. Go to the link above and download the app.



Open the downloaded file.

The new window shows, then click 'More info'.

Click a button 'Run anyway'.

Install the app.

Open the app.

I did double clicking at the app's icon on the desktop, the picture below is what I saw this app for the first time.

Click the arrow to see the app's icon (see the picture below).



Click the app's icon to show/hide the magnifying glass.

Right click the app's icon, click 'frame shape', then change the shape of the glass.


If 'frame shape' is full screen, it is similar to 'Magnifier' that comes with Windows 11.
