Download ZoomIt 9.0 – Free Screen Zoom and Annotation Tool for Presentations

ZoomIt 9.0 is a free screen zoom and annotation tool for Windows from Microsoft Sysinternals, designed specifically for presenters, educators, and technical trainers who need to zoom into specific areas of their screen and draw annotations during live presentations or online meetings. It works with any application and requires no integration with your presentation software.

With a simple hotkey, ZoomIt instantly zooms into the area around your mouse cursor at a configurable level, making small UI elements, code, or text clearly visible to your audience on a projector or screen share. While zoomed in, you can draw freehand lines, arrows, and shapes directly on screen to highlight key points without leaving your presentation.

ZoomIt 9.0 also includes a live zoom mode that follows your mouse in real time, a countdown timer for break reminders, and a typing mode for adding text annotations. It runs silently in the system tray and activates only when you press its hotkeys — completely non-intrusive until you need it. It is completely free as part of the Microsoft Sysinternals suite.

Key Features
