I am embedding a large image on github wiki. But it turns to be unreadable due to its size. Is it possible to make an image zoomable in markdown language? Specifically, on github wiki?

Thank you.

Simplest solution is to make a small version of the image (with GIMP/Photoshop etc.) and wrap it in a link to the original image.

Other solutions would require having custom CSS or JavaScript which you don't have on GitHub wikis etc.
