How to Zoom In on Your Personal Computer

This article will walk you through how to enlarge text, images, and other elements on your Windows PC screen. If you're only looking to zoom in on a website or an image, you can use a simple keyboard shortcut, a mouse with a scroll wheel, or interact with a touchscreen. For full-screen zoom, you can use an accessibility tool called Magnifier.

Open the app or page you want to zoom in on. You can use keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen gestures to zoom in and out in most apps. This method is especially useful for zooming in on websites or images.

Press Ctrl++ to zoom in. You can press this key combination repeatedly to zoom in further and get a closer look.

• If you are using a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the wheel upward to zoom in.
• If your PC has a touchscreen, you can pinch with two fingers on the screen and spread them apart to zoom in.
• Zooming may not be available in all applications.

Press Ctrl+- to zoom out. Just like zooming in, you can press this key combination multiple times to zoom out to your desired level.

• If you're using a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the wheel downward to zoom out.
• If you have a touchscreen, place your two fingers far apart and pinch them together to zoom out.

Press Ctrl + "0" to return to the default zoom level.

Press ⊞ Win++ on your keyboard. Press the Windows key and the + key together to activate the Magnifier tool on Windows 10 and 8.1. This tool will immediately zoom in on the entire screen until you adjust the settings.

• If you're using Windows 7, click the Start button, type magnifier in the search bar, and click Magnifier from the results.
• Windows 10 and 8 users who prefer a mouse can access Magnifier by going to Settings > Ease of Access > Magnifier > Turn on Magnifier (or toggle the slider).

Click on + to zoom in. This is the step to expand the screen. You can repeatedly click this button until you reach the desired zoom level.

• The zoom percentage (e.g., 200%) will adjust as you zoom in and out.
• If you prefer zooming in with the keyboard, press the Windows key along with the + key (this is the shortcut you used to open the tool).

Click on - to zoom out. Just like zooming in, you can keep clicking this button until you achieve the desired zoom out level.

• You can also zoom out by pressing the Windows key and the - key (minus sign).

Click on the Views menu to choose where you'd like to zoom. The default option is full-screen zoom, but there are other options you can choose:

• Lens works like a magnifying glass as you move your mouse around the screen.
• Full-screen zooms in to the entire screen (this is the default option).
• Docked zooms in on a fixed portion of the screen, either in a bar or a box format. The magnified area appears in the box as you move the cursor.

Click on the gear icon to customize the Magnifier settings. This step will open the Magnifier settings, allowing you to adjust its behavior.

• If you want Magnifier to start automatically when your computer boots up, check the box for Start Magnifier after sign-in or Start Magnifier before sign-in for everyone.
• To change the default viewing style, click on a selection under the "Choose a view" menu.

Click on the X in the top-right corner to close Magnifier.

Mở trình duyệt web. Tất cả trình duyệt web kiểu như Chrome, Firefox và Edge đều có tính năng phóng to riêng được tích hợp sẵn, có thể được truy cập từ nhiều trình đơn khác nhau.

Mở trình đơn của trình duyệt web. Vị trí của hầu hết mọi trình đơn của trình duyệt web là ở góc trên bên phải ứng dụng.

• Trong Microsoft Edge: Là ba dấu chấm theo chiều ngang
• Trong Google Chrome: Là ba dấu chấm theo chiều dọc
• Trong Mozilla Firefox: Là ba đường kẻ ngang
• Trong Internet Explorer: Nếu bạn đang sử dụng trình duyệt này, hãy nhấp vào trình đơn View ở trên cùng và lựa chọn trình đơn Zoom để truy cập tính năng thu phóng.

Nhấp + để phóng to. Bạn sẽ nhìn thấy tùy chọn "Zoom" trong trình đơn của hầu hết mọi trình duyệt web. Hãy nhấp vào + ở bên trái chữ "Zoom" trong trình đơn để phóng to toàn bộ trang web.

• Mức thu phóng (chẳng hạn như 125%) sẽ thay đổi sau mỗi lần nhấp nút.

Nhấp - để thu nhỏ. Nút này nằm ở bên phải chữ "Zoom". Đây là bước khiến mọi thứ trên từng trang trông nhỏ hơn.

Press Ctrl + "0" to reset the screen zoom to its default level.
