How to zoom in or out on Chromebook?
Chromebooks are cheap and light, but their small screens are sometimes difficult to read. If you can’t see something on your Chromebook, you can enlarge a single-window like Chrome, or enlarge the entire desktop to make the interface and icons easier to see.
Besides, Chromebooks also come with a built-in accessibility tool, allowing you to magnify small portions of the screen to make them easier to see.
How to Zoom In on Chromebook
Zooming in on a single window, like Chrome, is extremely easy on a Chromebook. You accomplish it by pressing a specific key combination. You press the same combination repeatedly to zoom in further.
The first step magnifies the window by 10 percent, and each subsequent step zooms you in an additional 25, 50, and then 100 percent until you’ve zoomed in as far as possible.
To zoom in a single window on a Chromebook:
- Press Ctrl + Plus (+) simultaneously.
- To zoom in further, press Ctrl + Plus (+) again.
- Continue pressing Ctrl + Plus (+) until you reach a maximum zoom of 500 percent.
How to Zoom Out on Chromebook
Zooming out on a Chromebook is also accomplished by pressing a combination of keys, and you can adjust the zoom level step-by-step just as you did when you zoomed in. Each step follows the same pattern as zooming in.
To zoom out on a Chromebook:
- Press Ctrl + Minus (–) simultaneously.
- If you want to zoom out further, press Ctrl + Minus (–) again.
