How To Zoom In And Out On Windows

Method 1: Zoom in With Windows Magnifier

The easiest way to zoom in and out on Windows is by using the built-in Windows Magnifier utility. Here’s how.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Windows + plus (+) to enable Magnifier. One of the things we suggest changing in the Magnifier settings is the Zoom increment level. The default zoom increment steps are 100% which doesn’t allow a more granular way of zooming in or out. Changing the settings to 5% or 10% is the way to go.

Method 2: Zoom In or Out Using Windows Scaling Options

If you want to permanently zoom in or out on Windows, you can do so from Windows scaling in Settings.

Method 3: Zoom In and Out on a Web Browser

While Windows scaling and magnifier can help you zoom in and out in a browser, it could be inconvenient to change the scaling back to default each time you’re done browsing. Hence, there’s an easy way to zoom in and out in a browser.

Method 4: Adjust the Screen Resolution

Setting a higher display resolution means each pixel holds more information, which results in a shrunken UI. Similarly, setting a lower resolution means the information held by one pixel would be held by four or more pixels, making the UI larger. If none of the above methods worked for any reason, you can adjust the screen resolution on Windows to zoom in or out.
While this is one of the ways to zoom in or out, we don’t recommend it as it can significantly impact the viewing experience.
So these were some of the ways you can zoom in or out on Windows. All the methods are quite easy to follow and can easily help you view content zoomed in or out. Out of all, we recommend Windows Magnifier if you temporarily want to zoom in, or you can also use Windows scaling for permanently zooming in or out.
