+# `usePinchZoon`
+
+React sensor hook that tracks the changes in pointer touch events and detects value of pinch difference and tell if user is zooming in or out.
+
+## Usage
+
+```jsx
+import { usePinchZoon } from "react-use";
+
+const Demo = () => {
+  const [scale, setState] = useState(1);
+  const scaleRef = useRef();
+  const { zoomingState, pinchState } = usePinchZoom(scaleRef);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (zoomingState === "ZOOM_IN") {
+      // perform zoom in scaling
+      setState(scale + 0.1)
+    } else if (zoomingState === "ZOOM_OUT") {
+      // perform zoom out in scaling
+      setState(scale - 0.1)
+    }
+  }, [zoomingState]);
+
+  return (
+    <div ref={scaleRef}>
+      <img
+        src="https://www.olympus-imaging.co.in/content/000107506.jpg"

+          zoom: scale,
