Sometimes you might have the need, especially when designing a page, to scale an item so it looks smaller, or bigger.
You can use the CSS zoom
property to scale any HTML element.
Use a value < 1 to make an element smaller. For example, half the size with 0.5
:
div {
zoom: 0.5;
}
or use a value > 1 to make the element bigger, like in this case to scale it 2x:
div {
zoom: 2;
}
Note that it does not work in Firefox, you could use
-moz-transform: scale(NUMBER);
instead (and if you go that route, you can usetransform: scale(NUMBER);
on all browsers, too).
