High-pressure diamond anvil cells have been widely used to create novel states of matter. Nevertheless, the lack of universal in-situ magnetic measurement techniques at megabar pressures makes it difficult to understand the underlying physics of materials' behavior at extreme conditions, such as high-temperature superconductivity of hydrides and the formation or destruction of the local magnetic moments in magnetic systems, etc. Here we break through the limitations of pressure on quantum sensors and develop the in-situ magnetic detection technique at megabar pressures with high sensitivity (~1{\mu}T/Hz^(1\2)) and sub-microscale spatial resolution. By directly imaging the magnetic field and the evolution of magnetic domains, we observe the macroscopic magnetic transition of Fe3O4 in the megabar pressure range from strong ferromagnetism ({\alpha}-Fe3O4) to weak ferromagnetism ({\beta}-Fe3O4) and finally to non-magnetism ({\gamma}-Fe3O4). The scenarios for magnetic changes in Fe3O4 characterized here shed light on the direct magnetic microstructure observation in bulk materials at high pressure and contribute to understanding the mechanism of magnetic moment suppression related to spin crossover. The presented method can potentially investigate the spin-orbital coupling and magnetism-superconductivity competition in magnetic systems.
