if wheel  gt  0        this scale    1 1       this offsetX -   mouseX - this offsetX     1 1 - 1       this offsetY -   mouseY - this offsetY     1 1 - 1     else       this scale    1 1 1       this offsetX -   mouseX - this offsetX     1 1 1 - 1       this offsetY -   mouseY - this offsetY     1 1 1 - 1

I like Tatarize s answer  but I ll provide an alternative   This is a trivial linear algebra problem  and the method I present works well with pan  zoom  skew  etc   That is  it works well if your image is already transformed   When a matrix is scaled  the scale is at point  0  0    So  if you have an image and scale it by a factor of 2  the bottom-right point will double in both the x and y directions  using the convention that  0  0  is the top-left of the image    If instead you would like to zoom the image about the center  then a solution is as follows   1  translate the image such that its center is at  0  0    2  scale the image by x and y factors   3  translate the image back   i e   myMatrix    translate image width   2  image height   2        3    scale xFactor  yFactor                             2    translate -image width   2  -image height   2      1   More abstractly  the same strategy works for any point   If  for example  you want to scale the image at a point P   myMatrix    translate P x  P y     scale xFactor  yFactor     translate -P x  -P y     And lastly  if the image is already transformed in some manner  for example  if it s rotated  skewed  translated  or scaled   then the current transformation needs to be preserved   Specifically  the transform defined above needs to be post-multiplied  or right-multiplied  by the current transform   myMatrix    translate P x  P y     scale xFactor  yFactor     translate -P x  -P y     multiply myMatrix     There you have it   Here s a plunk that shows this in action   Scroll with the mousewheel on the dots and you ll see that they consistently stay put    Tested in Chrome only   http   plnkr co edit 3aqsWHPLlSXJ9JCcJzgH p preview

One important thing    if you have something like   body     zoom  0 9      You need make the equivilent thing in canvas   canvas     zoom  1 1

The better solution is to simply move the position of the viewport based on the change in the zoom  The zoom point is simply the point in the old zoom and the new zoom that you want to remain the same  Which is to say the viewport pre-zoomed and the viewport post-zoomed have the same zoompoint relative to the viewport  Given that we re scaling relative to the origin  You can adjust the viewport position accordingly   scalechange   newscale - oldscale  offsetX   - zoomPointX   scalechange   offsetY   - zoomPointY   scalechange     So really you can just pan over down and to the right when you zoom in  by a factor of how much you zoomed in  relative to the point you zoomed at

You need to get the point in world space  opposed to screen space  before and after zooming  and then translate by the delta   mouse world position   to world position mouse screen position   zoom    mouse world position new   to world position mouse screen position   translation    mouse world position new - mouse world position    Mouse position is in screen space  so you have to transform it to world space  Simple transforming should be similar to this   world position   screen position   scale - translation

I want to put here some information for those  who do separately drawing of picture and moving -zooming it   This may be useful when you want to store zooms and position of viewport   Here is drawer   function redraw ctx       self ctx clearRect 0 0 canvas width  canvas height     self ctx save      self ctx scale self data zoom  self data zoom         self ctx translate self data position left  self data position top     position second       Here We draw useful scene My task - image     self ctx drawImage self img  0 0     position 0 0 - we already prepared    self ctx restore       Restore        Notice scale MUST be first   And here is zoomer       function zoom zf  px  py          zf - is a zoom factor  which in my case was one of  0 1  -0 1         px  py coordinates - is point within canvas         eg  px   evt clientX - canvas offset   left        py   evt clientY - canvas offset   top     var z   self data zoom      var x   self data position left      var y   self data position top       var nz   z   zf     getting new zoom     var K    z z   z zf     putting some magic      var nx   x -    px zf    K         var ny   y -    py zf    K        self data position left   nx     renew positions     self data position top   ny         self data zoom   nz         and zoom     self redraw ctx       redraw context         and  of course  we would need a dragger   this my cont mousemove function evt       if  is drag           var cur pos    x  evt clientX - off left                         y  evt clientY - off top          var diff    x  cur pos x - old pos x                      y  cur pos y - old pos y           self data position left     diff x   self data zoom       we want to move the point of cursor strictly         self data position top     diff y   self data zoom            old pos   cur pos          self redraw ctx

Here s an alternate way to do it that uses setTransform   instead of scale   and translate    Everything is stored in the same object  The canvas is assumed to be at 0 0 on the page  otherwise you ll need to subtract its position from the page coords   this zoomIn   function  pageX  pageY        var zoomFactor   1 1      this scale   this scale   zoomFactor      this lastTranslation             x  pageX -  pageX - this lastTranslation x    zoomFactor          y  pageY -  pageY - this lastTranslation y    zoomFactor            this canvasContext setTransform this scale  0  0  this scale                                      this lastTranslation x                                      this lastTranslation y      this zoomOut   function  pageX  pageY        var zoomFactor   1 1      this scale   this scale   zoomFactor      this lastTranslation             x  pageX -  pageX - this lastTranslation x    zoomFactor          y  pageY -  pageY - this lastTranslation y    zoomFactor            this canvasContext setTransform this scale  0  0  this scale                                      this lastTranslation x                                      this lastTranslation y        Accompanying code to handle panning   this startPan   function  pageX  pageY        this startTranslation             x  pageX - this lastTranslation x          y  pageY - this lastTranslation y           this continuePan   function  pageX  pageY        var newTranslation    x  pageX - this startTranslation x                            y  pageY - this startTranslation y       this canvasContext setTransform this scale  0  0  this scale                                      newTranslation x  newTranslation y      this endPan   function  pageX  pageY        this lastTranslation             x  pageX - this startTranslation x          y  pageY - this startTranslation y             To derive the answer yourself  consider that the same page coordinates need to match the same canvas coordinates before and after the zoom  Then you can do some algebra starting from this equation    pageCoords - translation    scale   canvasCoords

I ran into this problem using c    which I probably shouldn t have had i just used OpenGL matrices to begin with   anyways  if you re using a control whose origin is the top left corner  and you want pan zoom like google maps  here s the layout  using allegro as my event handler       initialize double originx   0     or whatever its base offset is double originy   0     or whatever its base offset is double zoom   1          main               set up your window with whatever         tool you want  load resources  etc                        while  running              Pan               Left button scrolls             if  mouse    1                   get the translation  in window coordinates              double scroll x   event mouse dx      x2-x1               double scroll y   event mouse dy      y2-y1                   Translate the origin of the element  in window coordinates                    originx    scroll x              originy    scroll y                        Zoom                Mouse wheel zooms            if  event mouse dz  0                      Get the position of the mouse with respect to                  the origin of the map  or image or whatever                  Let us call these the map coordinates             double mouse x   event mouse x - originx              double mouse y   event mouse y - originy               lastzoom   zoom                  your zoom function              zoom    event mouse dz   0 3   zoom                  Get the position of the mouse                in map coordinates after scaling             double newx   mouse x    zoom lastzoom               double newy   mouse y    zoom lastzoom                   reverse the translation caused by scaling             originx    mouse x - newx              originy    mouse y - newy                              draw originx originy zoom          NOTE The following is pseudocode                 the point is that this method applies so long as                 your object scales around its top-left corner                 when you multiply it by zoom without applying a translation          draw your object by first scaling        object width   object width   zoom      object height   object height   zoom           then translating        object X   originx      object Y   originy

This is actually a very difficult problem  mathematically   and I m working on the same thing almost  I asked a similar question on Stackoverflow but got no response  but posted in DocType  StackOverflow for HTML CSS  and got a response  Check it out http   doctype com javascript-image-zoom-css3-transforms-calculate-origin-example  I m in the middle of building a jQuery plugin that does this  Google Maps style zoom using CSS3 Transforms   I ve got the zoom to mouse cursor bit working fine  still trying to figure out how to allow the user to drag the canvas around like you can do in Google Maps  When I get it working I ll post code here  but check out above link for the mouse-zoom-to-point part   I didn t realise there was scale and translate methods on Canvas context  you can achieve the same thing using CSS3 eg  using jQuery      div canvasContainer  gt  canvas        css  -moz-transform    scale 1  translate 0px  0px         css  -webkit-transform    scale 1  translate 0px  0px         css  -o-transform    scale 1  translate 0px  0px         css  transform    scale 1  translate 0px  0px       Make sure you set the CSS3 transform-origin to 0  0  -moz-transform-origin  0 0   Using CSS3 transform allows you to zoom in on anything  just make sure the container DIV is set to overflow  hidden to stop the zoomed edges spilling out of the sides   Whether you use CSS3 transforms  or canvas  own scale and translate methods is upto you  but check the above link for the calculations     Update  Meh  I ll just post the code here rather than get you to follow a link     document  ready function         var scale   1      scale of the image     var xLast   0      last x location on the screen     var yLast   0      last y location on the screen     var xImage   0     last x location on the image     var yImage   0     last y location on the image         if mousewheel is moved         mosaicContainer   mousewheel function e  delta                   find current location on screen          var xScreen   e pageX -   this  offset   left          var yScreen   e pageY -   this  offset   top              find current location on the image at the current scale         xImage   xImage     xScreen - xLast    scale           yImage   yImage     yScreen - yLast    scale               determine the new scale         if  delta  gt  0                        scale    2                    else                       scale    2                    scale   scale  lt  1   1    scale  gt  64   64   scale               determine the location on the screen at the new scale         var xNew    xScreen - xImage    scale          var yNew    yScreen - yImage    scale              save the current screen location         xLast   xScreen          yLast   yScreen              redraw           this  find  div   css  -moz-transform    scale     scale          translate     xNew    px      yNew    px                                     css  -moz-transform-origin   xImage    px     yImage    px           return false                You will of course need to adapt it to use the canvas scale and translate methods     Update 2  Just noticed I m using transform-origin together with translate  I ve managed to implement a version that just uses scale and translate on their own  check it out here http   www dominicpettifer co uk Files Mosaic MosaicTest html Wait for the images to download then use your mouse wheel to zoom  also supports panning by dragging the image around  It s using CSS3 Transforms but you should be able to use the same calculations for your Canvas

you can use scrollto x y  function to handle the position of scrollbar right to the point that you need to be showed after zooming for finding the position of mouse use event clientX and event clientY  this will help you

[javascript] Zoom in on a point (using scale and translate)
