You can resize text to get it larger and visible when zoomed out. Have inherited an old PowerPoint presentation with slides that need resizing.The one place where I feel like Miro currently stumbles for me WRT zoom … is on flow charts or anything involving arrows at low zoom % levels (zoomed way out). Its funny, just an hour ago a new user (he’s like ~2 weeks in to using Miro) asked me the same.PowerPoint presentations are designed to fill a computer monitor screen. Photo Resizer helps you resize photos before posting them on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, Google+, VKontakte, KakaoTalk, etc. Glad you asked it MullanePhoto Resizer is a utility app that lets you resize the image by selecting the right resolution.Photo Resizer is designed to help you resize images quickly and conveniently (easily). BeeCut is actually a.This is a great discussion.What’s important to note is that the lines are legible… they have A) weight - they convey the structure legibly at this viewpoint, and B) legible arrow heads.Compare the above to the flow chart below, which was made to fill the screen at 4% ( this would ostensibly be a scale I might choose in order to preserve many more levels of zoom-in detail.)Notice that the pathway stations or node titles ARE still ~legible. Arrows at Max thicknessWhole board/frame looks like this at 20% zoom: some of the major stations on the pathway have text that is legible, but the smallest font in the middle is illegible without zoom in. The zoom level is 75% and the arrows are at Max thickness zoom at 75%. And you want to see the arrow heads because thats critical to understanding which way the flow is going.Ex: first image below. “big pathway” type flow chart using lines/arrow… and you want to be able to read text at each station (node) along that pathway.
![]() At each level I would want the text to be as legible as a 12 point font on a normal laptop screen (for example, like when we read webpages or news sites). (1) the big training map (the overview of Content) that can be drilled down to (2) the individual lesson level that can be further drilled down to (3) lesson details. Here is the first example again:Thanks Harper , this is exactly the input I was looking for. This still leaves plenty of zoom-in (up to 400%) and low-level detail ‘small’ text can be re-scaled down to illegibly small. I’d like to get the communication to possibly be more precise by asking the Miro staff one question: “Despite users’ freedom to do whatever they want, is it, or is it not the intention-and wise use-of such a system, that when you set the viewing zoom level to 100% that you would see objects scaled themselves to their authored resolution (which I call ‘100% scale’ unless someone can educate me)?” In other words, if you paste in a mockup of a screen portion that is 400px X 300px, and you zoom to 100% in Miro, the mockup appears at its authored size occupying 400x300px?I think I’ve figured out the problem, at least so far as people complain about ‘pasting things in and being too small’ and similar confusions. That would help in planning which level of magnification to use for the base level.Maybe a Scaling Guide is a feature request.The length and imprecision of this thread reveals a serious problem. So then I might find myself wanting to zoom out from what was my level (1) to a level 0.So is there some kind of Scaling Guide that would help with scaling? For example, how many levels can fit in if you take an A4 sized frame paper and zoom out until it’s a thumbnail size on an A4 frame, zoom out again until that is again a thumbnail size, and zoom out again until that is thumbnail size, etc. Mac halo crackSo after pasting, they couldn’t resist the temptation to manually resize (rescale) their newly pasted image so they could see it… WITHOUT doing the right thing, namely zooming in. But my prior author probably didn’t notice that because they had a zillion things in their board, their zoom level was down to 1%. Here’s what I think is happening, presuming that Miro does NOT in fact do any automatic or errant zoom changes, nor does it use some ‘smart’ logic to interpret paste-resolution:Images such as screen captures are always pasted in at 100% scale. ![]() Zoom in to the exact center of the place you imported it.If you go to Google Images the website and right click and “copy” an image (or have any image from your computer (a screenshot for example) on your computer’s clipboard)) and return to Miro and paste it into the board with ctrl+v(win) cmd+v(Mac) it will paste NOT in the center of the viewport/canvas location but it will place the image wherever your cursor is over the board. This is a super helpful bit of logic as it allows you to pinpoint where you want images to land ( but it also throws miro users until they know its happening - threw me for the longest time when I was doing as you are … importing into a vast board at low zoom (>1%) ).If your board is too big and you’re too zoomed out needlessly:I occasionally find myself sometimes building a board too large to start and end up at really low zooms (zoomed way out) and I’ll: unlock everything, select all, and resize everything considerably, then readjust/ double check that line width and shape strokes look ok ( as they are the only two things that don’t scale down in that event).I’ll state the following as facts/directives and allow the Miro folks to correct where needed: If you don’t see it… use the click drag “lasso” select to select it. So move yourself somewhere in the board where the arrival of that image will be visible and not confounded by other objects. Lastly, a high-res image, larger than your screen size, can provide an unpixelated image ~’landscape’ on your board that you can zoom into without it looking pixelated.Side Note: As you might expect: This logic is actually handled differently for SVG’s.If you’re using the Miro-integrated Google images plugin: it places the item in the exact center of your viewport ( the center of your current location over the board ). Also, if you import a small image 16pxX16px png icon for example, it will act and appear like 16 px of screen at whatever size you resize it and will look pixelated if you zoom in beyond its screen width spanning 16 px. In other words, it does not do anything differently-it does not apply special logic to adjust an image’s size or pixels-per-inch-just because Miro might be zoomed all the way out to 1%, as can happen when your board has a lot of content. Miro always pastes pixel-based art (not SVGs for instance), at 100% scale. This is a nice convenience, but you certainly can use Miro however you wish. A reasonable goal for your boards is that when the Miro zoom is set to 100%, that images-especially designed layouts and mockups-render at their authored size… at 100%.
