[Image Project] Option to set default view size: Fit OR Original for clients/guests

Feature Request

Currently, when I add an image or import a project from Figma, the default zoom is set to Fit. This can sometimes cause issues because clients view the designs on different screen resolutions, which results in the image being scaled differently. This often leads to feedback like “the text is too small” or “the logo is too small” (well, the logo is always too small ;)).

It would be helpful to have an option in the settings to lock the preview at 100% zoom, without allowing users to zoom in or out.

    Maybe I didn’t explain it clearly the first time, because I don’t see any changes.

    What I mean is that at the bottom of the page there’s an option to zoom in/out on the image. By default, it’s set to “Fit.” When a client receives the link, the project opens in a scaled-down view. For example, I design at a resolution of 1920px, but the client might see it at 1400px, which makes the text and other elements appear smaller. This can easily lead to misunderstandings.

    It would be great if there were an option in the project settings to define a default zoom level. That way, I could set it before sharing the link, and the client would see the project exactly as intended by default. Of course, they could still rescale it themselves if they wanted to.

    Another issue is image quality when someone has display scaling enabled in their system settings. In that case, I could export the image from Figma at 2x resolution. However, if the default zoom is set to 100%, the client might then see the project at an oversized scale.
