Text on a web page too small to read? Don’t squint. Press Ctrl + Plus to zoom in. Every press makes the page a little bigger.
The Shortcut
- Ctrl + Plus: zoom in
- Ctrl + Minus: zoom out
- Or hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel
- Mac: ⌘ + Plus and ⌘ + Minus
Bonus Tip: Ctrl + 0 Resets the Zoom
Press Ctrl + 0 to put the page back to its normal size. Chrome remembers your zoom setting for each website, so a site you zoom stays zoomed. On a Mac, press ⌘ + 0.
