Enabling Image Zoom for Glide Apps

Let your users zoom in on images on mobile.

Updated over 5 months ago

Currently, there is no native Glide action that enlarges images, but you can create a workaround with the image URL, a template column, and the web embed component.

Web Embed is only available for users on a paid plan.

Setting up the Zoom Web Embed Workaround

  1. Upload the Image directly to Glide. You can do this with an image or file picker component or with an Image column in the Data Editor.

  2. Create a Template Column in the Data Editor.

  3. Construct the URL by appending your image link (column) to this base URL: https://res.cloudinary.com/glide/image/fetch/f_auto,w_375,c_limit/x

  4. Replace x in the URL with the column where your images are stored.

  5. Add a Web Embed Component in the Layout Editor.

    • Instead of an image component, use a web embed in your layout and set its URL to the link from your template column.

This configuration makes the image behave like a zoomable web page. When users select the image, they will be able to zoom and move around the image.
