Procedure to Adjust zoom settings in

Chrome browser
Tags: Chrome

If you need to adjust the size of website content, use the ZOOM feature of Google
Chrome to shrink or magnify text and pictures.

There are 2 ways to adjust the zoom settings:  Permanently set the zoom level for all
pages opened with Chrome (useful when using  high resolution displays), or manually
adjust the magnification settings on a case-by-case basis.

By default, Chrome sets the zoom level to 100%.  To manually adjust the
settings, use the Ctrl key and “+” or “-” combos to increase or decrease the page
magnification.  If you are using a mouse, you can hold down the keyboard Ctrl
key and use the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

When you do this, you will see an icon on the right side of the address bar, indicating
the zoom level has deviated from the default.  Click the “reset to default” button to
return the page to the default magnification level.

To adjust the default magnification level so all pages open at a specific


zoom level, click the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of Chrome,
and select the settings option.
On the Settings page, click the Show advanced settings… link at the bottom of the
page.  This will display some additional settings for you to adjust.

Scroll down until you see the Web content section.  From here you can set the default
magnification settings for all web pages.  You can also adjust fonts and sizes to
improve the visual effects of web sites.

Make your selections and close the Settings tab.  Your selections will be remembered.
