How to zoom in and out of a slide in Powtoon Studio

When editing a Powtoon, you can zoom in or out of the slide canvas (the stage) to get a better view of your work. The zoom controls are available directly in Powtoon Studio and do not affect how your finished Powtoon looks when exported.

Zoom in and out of a slide

The zoom controls appear at the bottom of the Powtoon Studio editing area, near the stage. Use them at any time while editing a slide.

Open your Powtoon in Powtoon Studio.
Locate the zoom controls at the bottom of the stage area.
Click + to zoom in and get a closer view of the slide.
Click − to zoom out and see more of the slide at once.

The stage view updates immediately each time you click a zoom control. You can click either control multiple times to continue zooming in or out.

Note: Zooming in or out only changes your editing view. It does not resize, crop, or alter any content in your Powtoon, and it has no effect on the exported file.

Text-only reference

To zoom in on a slide in Powtoon Studio, click the + button near the bottom of the stage. To zoom out, click the − button in the same location. Both controls adjust your view only and do not change the content or layout of your Powtoon.
