Tiny text and too-small images make it difficult to view a Web page. If you use Google Chrome as your browser, you can increase the size of a Web page with the Zoom tool. Chrome enables you to zoom in on just one page or enlarge the content on every page you visit. The browser also features several extra-large font sizes that you might find helpful when text is hard to read.
Enlarge Current Page
Launch Chrome and go to the Web page that you want to enlarge.
Click the "Menu" button. Find "Zoom" in the list of menu options.
Click the "+" next to Zoom to enlarge the page or the "-" button make it smaller. Alternatively, press "Ctrl" and "+" to enlarge the screen or "Ctrl" and "-" to make it smaller.
Click the "Full Screen" button next to Zoom to enter full-screen mode. You can also enable full-screen mode by pressing "F11."
Enlarge All Pages
Launch Chrome and click the "Menu" button.
Click "Setting" and then click "Show Advanced Settings" near the bottom of the window.
Scroll down to the Web Content section. Click the "Page Zoom" drop-down menu and select a size from 25 percent to 500 percent zoom. The default setting is 100 percent zoom.
Click the "Font Size" drop-down menu and choose a size from "Very Small" to "Very Large." Close the window to save your changes.
- If your Chrome window size is small, you may have accidentally clicked the "Restore Down" button. To fix it, click the "Maximize" button at the top of the screen.
- Windows comes with a Magnifier tool that enlarges the whole screen or parts of the display. It also has an inverted colors option that may make text easier to read.
