A lens moving across a page
The glass magnifies what is under it and nothing else. Drawn live, in this tab.
Open the editorFourteen ways to look at a paragraph
A template is a complete look, not a preset nudge: the lens size, the power, the sweep, the paper and the face all move together.
Reading
Someone going through a page, at the pace a person actually reads.
MagnifierPage.tpl_study
Brass and walnut over warm paper, moving at the pace someone actually reads.
Skim
A wide plastic glass at low power, moving the way you scan rather than read.
MagnifierPage.tpl_annotate
A small deco glass crawling the line at high power. Every word gets its moment.
Evidence
Hard rims and high power. The lens is looking for one specific thing.
MagnifierPage.tpl_exhibit
The black forensic ring over cold grey. Nothing warm anywhere in frame.
MagnifierPage.tpl_appraisal
A jeweller's barrel pressed to black card. No handle, no hand, no warmth.
MagnifierPage.tpl_stakeout
Forensic glass over a dark page, sweeping without stopping. Looking, not reading.
Ink, paper and age, from foxed parchment to pure press black.
Foxed
The Victorian glass over aged, spotted paper. Everything in frame is old.
MagnifierPage.tpl_first_edition
Heavy brass over ivory with a serif that predates it. A page being valued.
MagnifierPage.tpl_proof
A jeweller's barrel on white stock, checking the register. Black on white, nothing else.
MagnifierPage.tpl_broadsheet
Deco nickel over newsprint, read wide and quick the way a paper is.
Screen
Glass rather than paper, including a green key so the lens can be cut onto footage.
MagnifierPage.tpl_crt
A plastic glass held to a tube monitor — curved corners, scan lines over everything.
MagnifierPage.tpl_tape
Brass over a warm transfer. Soft, bled, a generation away from the original.
MagnifierPage.tpl_panel
The forensic ring on a clean LCD. Crisp, cold, and obviously a display.
Keyed
Green screen and no paper at all — the instrument alone, ready to composite.

Questions
Is this free?
Opening it and previewing every template is free. Exporting needs a free account and spends one credit.
Can I put the lens over my own footage?
Use the Keyed template. It renders the paper on a green background so the lens can be keyed and composited onto anything.
Does the lens really magnify, or is it a zoom of the whole frame?
It magnifies only what falls inside the glass, and the rim refracts at the edge the way a real lens does. The page underneath stays at its own size.
Does it support Arabic?
Yes, with Arabic faces and right to left layout.
How long is the clip?
You set the traversal duration, plus a lead in and a tail hold for the export.
Does it run in the browser?
Entirely. Canvas for the page and the glass, WebCodecs for the encode. Nothing is uploaded.
What aspect ratios does it export?
9:16 for Reels and Shorts, 1:1 for feeds, 16:9 for YouTube, and 4:5.
Will it work on my phone?
The preview does. Exporting wants a desktop browser with WebCodecs.
