Chris Pirillo Video – How Do You Enlarge Fonts on a Web Page?

July 07, 2009 by Chris Pirillo in chris pirillo

Yes, I’m addicted to fonts. I’ve admitted it for years. I like looking at cool fonts, and enjoy finding new ones. Someone from the PCPitStop community recently asked how he can enlarge fonts on a web page, to make it easier for him to read. You don’t need a new printer, don’t worry! The answer lies within your browser itself!

    Maybe it's just on my computer, but try this: Press Ctrl, then roll your mouse wheel. The whole web page gets larger or smaller.

  2. Larry Says:

    Neat tip, thank you. Also you can click Page, then Zoom, and adjust the size. I believe the settings are retained as I use this for my home page on a big LCD with high res and small fonts. Anyway, it's much easier than changing dpi which requires a reboot and can make some programs inoperable.

    David Clark has the right answer. However, I usually press ctrl and + or – because I am use to doing that. I use Firefox of course.

  4. Phoenix Psaltery Says:

    This required a video? [CTRL] and the + key will do it.

  5. Anne Rees Says:

    Control and + did it in Explorer when using View and Text Size did nothing! Thanks David Clarke!

    I knew CTRL and +/- and ZOOM but did not know David Clarke's which is, perhaps, easiest .. thanks, David and Chris ..
