Having trouble reading very fine print nowadays? Maybe this free screen magnifier can be of help. Magnifixer by Blacksun Software is designed to aid the user by enlarging the screen by up to 40 times magnification. It is intended for individuals who may have trouble viewing regular-size texts and images, but it is also designed to help those that require very detailed views of lines of codes, for example, such as designers and developers.

Upon installation, the screen magnifier can be configured with ease. The user is able to select from a number of options that include customizing the size, location, and the zoom level to be displayed. Using the tool is as simple as placing the mouse to the area of the screen that you want magnified. We found the stay-on-top option to be a useful feature for quick access.

Magnifixer works well and is easy to use. If you're having trouble reading online, this is a cheap, effective tool that could help. We found no issues with the installation and uninstallation of the application.

Disappointing

Pros
- Potentially offers helpful features that aren't in the built-in Windows magnifier, like using the scroll wheel to zoom in. - Free
Cons
- While installing, it will install a useless add-on unless you opt out. Even after I opted out, it changed my browser's home page without permission. - The program froze shortly after turning it on, and stopped following my cursor. I was unable to try out the features that set it apart from Windows Magnifier without it freezing. Before freezing, the program was jumpy and hard to follow.
Summary
I'd stick with the built-in Windows Magnifier.
It does work.

Pros
Makes screen bigger, easier to read without changing resolution.
Cons
Nothing to say.
Summary
It's quite utilitarian.
Excellent program

Pros
Better than the pay programs. Great configuration options. If you have poor eyesight do not miss this one. If you have good eye sight you may benefit also.
Cons
There are no cons to this program. The author has done the visually handicapped a great service. Bravo to the software engineer.
Summary
My eyesight is failing and trying to use the mt4 trading software was difficult due to the inability to adjust font size. Other wise it is terrific software. I had not been able to find software to do what this program does til now. This is what the doctor ordered. You can fix the window anywhere. The options are simple to access and complete just a right mouse click a way. This is a very intuitive program to use. Simple, easy to use and very powerful. I am using it with Windows 7 64 bit home premium with out a problem. Microsoft should buy this from the author. It 10 fold a better program than what is included. CNET should review and make this the editors choice in accessibility software.
Excellent product! - Works with Vista!

Pros
Does what it says, and does it very well.
Cons
No cons - it`s all good.
Summary
It works with Vista! -- It does everything the description says and more! - It has some features not listed in the description - you can invert the image to make it a "negative" to show more detail - you can resize the viewer window to any size you want - plus a lot more! Its very handy, I keep a shortcut to it on my task bar. -- This is a free application that really works great, is very useful. and has lots of great features - Highly recommended!
