Virtual Magnifying Glass is a lightweight software application with a pretty self-explanatory name, as it is able to amplify any area of your desktop.

Once you run the application, you are required to select between two different modes, namely classic or dynamic. The first one allows users to move the magnifying by using the mouse, while the latter offers keyboard shortcuts for performing this action.

You can access the program’s features from the system tray, and it also offers multilingual support. Virtual Magnifying Glass gives you the possibility to set the level of magnification, and adjust the size of the magnifying glass by selecting the width and height from predefined lists.

During our testing we have noticed that the program manages to amplify any area of the desktop quickly and without errors throughout the process. No special computer skills are required when working with this app, as it doesn’t bundle many configuration settings, and for this specific reason, it can become an ideal tool for less experienced users.

You can also make this cross-platform utility run at Windows startup. It manages to remain light on the system resources, and it doesn’t affect the overall performance of your computer.

All things considered, Virtual Magnifying Glass is a handy software solution that can help you amplify any area of your desktop, and this way inspect photos, documents, websites and others, quickly and with minimum effort. Thanks to its overall simplicity, it is suitable for beginners and professionals alike.
