Making webpages easier to see

You can make the text and images on webpages larger so they’re easier to read. When you enlarge images and graphics, Safari keeps the text sharp and maintains the webpage’s layout.

To enlarge the entire webpage, including images:

Choose View > Zoom In, or press Command (⌘)-Plus (+).

You may also be able to use your trackpad or multiple-button mouse to zoom. To learn more, refer to the documentation that came with your computer, trackpad, or mouse, or choose Help > Mac Help from the Finder, and search for trackpad and mouse topics.

To enlarge the text only:

Choose View > Zoom Text Only.

To enlarge small fonts on webpages:

  1. Choose Safari > Preferences and click Advanced.

  2. Select “Never use font sizes smaller than,” and choose a font size from the pop-up menu.

Not all small fonts used on webpages can be enlarged. Small fonts in images, for example, are not affected by this setting.

Some webpages may not look correct if you select this option.

You can add a Text Size button to the Safari toolbar by customizing the Safari window.
