How to Increase Font Size on Websites in Your Browser

Sometimes the text on a website can appear too small, making it difficult to read. Fortunately, most modern browsers provide easy ways to increase the font size and enhance your browsing experience. In this guide, we’ll show you how to adjust text size in popular browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

The quickest and easiest way to change the font size on a page is by using keyboard shortcuts:

  • Ctrl + Plus (Ctrl + +) — Increase the font size;
  • Ctrl + Minus (Ctrl + -) — Decrease the font size;
  • Ctrl + Zero (Ctrl + 0) — Reset the font size to default.

For Mac users, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.
