The new images are not zoomed in at all, they are actually smaller than the original.
??? The are quite large for me on my computer, maybe it's the device you are using?

I think Zazzle is trying to avoid that customers can take a screenshot of their customized invitation or stationery to print it at home
Just occurred to me that maybe you are talking about the thumbnails on the "zoom" page, not the main images? Those are pretty small. The viewing area on my laptop, after accounting for Windows & browser toolbars, is 1393 x 704 when maximized. The thumbnails on the new "zoom" page are only approximately 65px (on the product page they are about 140). Much to small to see any detail without squinting but I think they are just intended for navigation. Which is why labels on the thumbs would be really more helpful than on just the main image. The main image (on the "zoom" page) is 1080 for me, quite large. I never measured how big they used to be but they def seem larger now then they were before.
Hmmm. I'm trying to figure out what you are seeing. (I use Firefox not Chrome.)
So this is the regular product page:
and this is the "zoom" page:
I see what you mean, that you can see a bit of the outline of the default size page image under the zoom page view, but if you overlay the two pages you can see that the zoomed image view is much larger.
If you're seeing the zoomed image smaller than the one behind it as you said, maybe it's a bug in Chrome?
Ah...it looks like we're on the same page now, metaphorically speaking..lol, but we're not getting the same results. Maybe this is something they're testing ... from the images you attached, it appears you are still seeing the old view I used to get. Now, instead of the zoomed in image, I'm getting a different screen (like the one below), that has scrolling arrows on the left and right, view titles and duplicate thumbnails under it. I just tried Firefox and MS Edge browsers and I got the old screen, so maybe it does have something to do with Chrome?? You can see to the left that the original image is slightly larger. And by the way, thank you for sticking with me to figure this out!
Since they first introduced the new "zoom page" (I don't know how else to briefly call it so sticking with that) a week or three ago, it's looked to me on Firefox like it does in my screenshots. I really liked the large 1080 images even though they were actually too big to fit completely on my screen vertically. I loathed the vertical scroll though.
I never tried it in another browser until tonight. With Firefox and Brave I get the zoom page I showed above - 1080 images, vertical scroll, no labels on the thumbnails, thumbnails on the left, semi-trans overlay.
In Opera and Chrome I get this:
1020 images, no scroll (must click thumbnails), thumbnails on the left, labels on thumbnails, opaque white page. I haven't encountered the version you're seeing with the smaller images, thumbs on the bottom, horizontal scroll, and lighter semi-trans overlay. I guess now it's clear we're not all seeing the same thing as they tinker with and test different formats. I really really really hope they settle on a combination using
* the horizontal scroll w/clickable arrows you're seeing
* thumbs on the left & labeled (and also clickable)
* the more grayed-out semi-trans overlay I'm seeing in my first screenshots
* the 1020 image size which is a perfect fit for my screen/res 😉
Also - I love your card art! The hot pinks and bright teal w/ some black thrown in to make it really pop and a tropical theme - I would totally be drawn to this on home decor items or for wall art.
