I've been looking for an app to magnify certain areas of the screen and be resized and fixed in position.
Everything I've tried is connected to the curser. Any suggested apps?

"areas of the screen and be resized and fixed in position.
What You Talkin Bout Willis
A floating magnified area that can be moved over text or images on my desktop, fixed in place and not move when I move the mouse.
Why?….
To magnify text or images on my desktop.
If it's this,
https://magnifier.sourceforge.net/DL it and close this thread, before we all get migraines.
Not that one sadly, thread stays open.
It's connected to the mouse curser and won't stay in place.
Just use the mag + windows as it is supposed to be used.
It might help to let people know what program you need zooming in to. Ctrl + + in a new browser window is another easy fix.
I'ts not a mainstream app. Nothing works to zoom in. I would have thought a floating area of magnification that can be resized and set in place would be readily available but everything ive tried either locks to the curser and or can not be set on top of other windows. 😟
Second monitor, drop the resolution and extend the desktop to it. Move app to that screen. Now it's big and on top because it's the only thing there and you've set it to 720p.
I believe Power Toys is what you are after
Includes Crop & Lock and Zoomit utilities
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/crop-and…Im not in front of the pc so can't test just yet but it looks like it magnifys only an area that is cut out / frozen in time. Im needing an area magnified that has changing text every few seconds.
Nope - can be webpage - can scroll or content can change
maybe add an additional monitor and play with the resolution - then you can have a fixed window you can put any thing you like inside
Ask an AI tool to create the program for you. Sell to the other person in the world who need this feature. Profit.
Not exactly sure what you're trying to do, you can use OBS (https://obsproject.com/) to do a Window or Display capture, depending if it's a single application, or a group of applications you want zoomed. Then you can make the captured area larger in OBS, and move the OBS window where you'd like. I used to use this when I multiboxed a game.
Zoomit, or Zoomit64 specifically.
Zoomit also part of Powertoys now as mentioned above
