What it does
A plain image can only say so much. If you want readers to learn more about a specific part of a photo, a product in a catalog shot or a section of an infographic, you usually end up writing captions or adding separate links below the image. This plugin lets you tag points directly on the image instead. Each marker links to web-hosted content with its own URL, so visitors can explore details right where they appear in the picture.
You build each interactive image with a drag and drop editor that includes zoom and pan controls, which helps you place markers precisely. Markers can be images or icons, so they can match your site's look. When a visitor opens a marker, they see a preview of the linked content, so they can watch a video or browse a gallery in an overlay without leaving the page. Interactive images adapt to desktops, tablets and phones, which suits news photos, infographics, shoppable catalogs, educational visuals and marketing presentations.
Best for
- Bloggers and news sites annotating photos
- Online stores building shoppable product catalogs
