How to Zoom In and Out in Safari on Your Mac

safari show zoom level

On your Mac, you may want to zoom in or out to make things on your screen easier to see while browsing the web in Safari. If you zoom in, this will enlarge the text, images, videos, and other objects on a website. You can also zoom out to see more content. By default, Safari sets the zoom level to 100%, but you can change this. This article will help you adjust the size of website content to make a webpage easier to read. More specifically, this article will teach you these:

  • How you can zoom in to magnify any web content that you have on your Mac.
  • How you can zoom out if you think the website text and images are too small.
  • How you can set a default zoom level for all websites.
  • How you can customize zoom settings for individual websites.

This article is especially important as users with low vision may prefer to have Safari (and other browsers) zoom into page content.

To quickly zoom in and out

You can zoom the active website you are currently viewing. If you want to quickly zoom in, out, and reset the zooming setting, you can use these keyboard shortcuts. This will temporarily set the zoom level:

  • Zoom in: Command and +
  • Zoom out: Command and –
  • Actual size: Command and 0 (this will restore the zoom to 100%).

Alternatively, in the Safari app, you can click the View menu and select a different zoom level: Actual Size, Zoom In, or Zoom Out.

Safari zoom setting

Increasing or decreasing the Text Size

You can zoom website text. This will only change the text size. The website’s other elements (e.g., images, etc) will not be changed. Here is how:

  • While you are viewing the website, press and hold down the Option key and from the View menu, select Make Text Bigger or Make Text Smaller.

Make text bigger or smaller

Or, alternatively, you can use these shortcuts:

  • Make text bigger: Option, Command and +
  • Make text smaller: Option, Command and –
  • Reset to the default text size: Command and 0

Permanently set the zoom level for all pages opened with Safari

As stated above, Safari’s default zoom setting is 100%. Here is how you can change this setting:

  • Open Safari and in Safari, go to Safari > Preferences > Websites > Page Zoom (sidebar).
  • Select all websites (you can press the Command key and click the websites).
  • Then click the “When visiting other websites” menu and choose a larger or smaller percentage.

Zoom all sites in Safari

Set the zoom level for a specific website

If a particular website content looks too small or too big for you, then you may want to customize its zoom setting. Here is how:

  • If you are currently viewing the website, then you can click the Safari menu and Settings for This Website. Choose the Page Zoom option and change the level. You can increase or decrease. The 100% option will return the website to the default magnification level.

Change website zoom setting

  • If you are not currently viewing the site, then you can choose Safari > Preferences > Websites. Select Page Zoom (sidebar) and then change the zoom level.

Change zoom Safari

Set a minimum font size

This is another zoom setting. You may want to use it. So, if you are thinking that the font sizes on the web appear too small (for example, you may have vision impairment), you can set a minimum text size. In Safari, click Safari > Preferences > Advanced. Check the “Never use font sizes smaller than” box and choose a font size.

How to Increase or Decrease the Zoom Level in macOS Safari

Dennis Sellers

Sometimes when I’m viewing an article (usually involving patent images) in Safari, it’s hard to view an entire image. However, you can increase or decrease the zoom level of images (and text) when viewing web pages in the macOS web browser. 

When viewing a picture or text, press Command and the + (plus) or – (minus) keys. Alternately, you can click on View in Safari’s menu bar and select Zoom In or Zoom Out.

You can even add zoom buttons to Safari’s toolbar. To do so, right-click (or Control-click) on a space in the Safari toolbar and click Customize Toolbar. Click and drag the Zoom buttons in the dropdown to the are you clicked on the toolbar. Click Done to finish.

Also cool: if you wish to keep images at the same size and only adjust web page font size on the fly, press Option-Command and the + or – keys. You can also hold down the Option key and click on View in the Safari menu bar. This changes the Zoom options to “Make Text Bigger” and “Make Text Smaller.”

The web browser will “remember” your zoom wishes and preferred font size settings until you clear your History. If you want to do that, open Safari, select Clear History, and click the Clear History button. 

But, wait!, we’re not done. You can also set the zoom level for a website of your choosing. Once you’ve set up the zoom level for a specific webpage, Safari applies it automatically whenever you view it. Here’s how to set this up:

Go to the site.

Have you ever visited a website where the content was so small you had trouble reading it? Or maybe you’ve seen a webpage where the content was completely oversized? Safari has a handy zoom feature that you can adjust not just for the current site you’re visiting but for specific sites or all sites automatically.

Here’s how to use Safari zoom to automatically make websites larger on Mac.

  • Click Safari > Settings for [Website name] and adjust the Page Zoom in the pop-up box.

How to Zoom In on Safari

It's free and super easy to set up

Safari is a popular web browser that is widely used across various devices. However, sometimes it can be difficult to read text or view a webpage without zooming in. Fortunately, Safari provides multiple ways to zoom in on a page. In this article, we'll explore the different options available for zooming in on Safari and guide you through how to use them.

Understanding Zoom Options in Safari

Before diving into ways to zoom in on Safari, it's essential to understand the various zoom options available. Safari offers two types of zoom options: Page Zoom and Text Zoom.

Page Zoom vs. Text Zoom

Page Zoom enlarges the entire webpage, including text, images, and other elements. This option is beneficial for users who want to view the webpage in its entirety without having to scroll excessively. However, it can also make the page appear cluttered and difficult to read.

Text Zoom, on the other hand, only enlarges the text, not other elements on a page. This option is useful for users who want to focus on the text and make it easier to read without affecting the layout of the page. However, it can also make images and other elements appear small in comparison.

Both options have their benefits and drawbacks, depending on the user's preference and the specific webpage. Some users may prefer to use Page Zoom for websites with lots of images, while others may prefer Text Zoom for websites with a lot of text.

Setting Default Zoom Levels

If you prefer to always view webpages at a specific zoom level, you can set a default zoom level in Safari Preferences. To do this, open Safari Preferences, go to the "Advanced" tab, and choose "Page Zoom" or "Text Zoom" from the dropdown menu. Set the zoom level you prefer, and every subsequent page you visit in Safari will automatically zoom to that level.

It's important to note that setting a default zoom level may not work for every webpage, as some websites have their own zoom settings that override the browser's default settings. Additionally, changing the zoom level on a webpage may affect the webpage's layout, making it appear distorted or difficult to navigate.

Overall, understanding the different zoom options available in Safari can help improve your browsing experience and make it easier to read and navigate webpages. Whether you prefer Page Zoom or Text Zoom, or like to change the zoom level on a per-page basis, Safari offers a variety of options to suit your needs.

Zooming In Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Safari offers several keyboard shortcuts that allow you to zoom in and out of a page. Zooming in on a page can be particularly useful when reading small text or viewing images in detail. Here are the most commonly used keyboard commands:

Zooming In and Out with Keyboard Commands

To zoom in on a page, press the "Command" and "+" keys simultaneously. This will increase the size of the text and images on the page, allowing you to view them more clearly. If you want to zoom out, press "Command" and "-" keys simultaneously. This will decrease the size of the text and images on the page, allowing you to see more of the page at once.

Using keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out can be a great time saver, as it allows you to quickly adjust the size of the content on the page without having to navigate through menus or use your mouse.

Resetting Zoom to Default with Keyboard Shortcuts

If you accidentally zoom too far in or out while browsing a webpage, you can easily reset the zoom level to default with the "Command" and "0" keys. This will return the page to its original size and make it easier to navigate and read.

Overall, keyboard shortcuts are a great way to improve your browsing experience and make it more efficient. By using these shortcuts, you can quickly and easily adjust the size of the content on the page and navigate through websites with ease.

Zooming In Using Safari Menu Options

Another way to zoom in on a page is through the Safari menu options. While using the zoom feature can be helpful for those with visual impairments or for those who want to get a closer look at a particular part of a web page, it can also be useful for those who want to read small text or view images more clearly.

Accessing Zoom Options in the View Menu

To access the Zoom options in the View menu, go to "View" in the Safari menu bar and select "Zoom In" or "Zoom Out." This will allow you to increase or decrease the size of the text and images on the page. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcuts "Command" and "+" or "-" keys simultaneously. This is a quick and easy way to adjust the zoom level without having to navigate through the menu options.

Customizing Zoom Levels in Safari Preferences

You can also customize the default zoom levels by going to 'Preferences' in the Safari menu. From there, choose 'Page Zoom' or 'Text Zoom' from the dropdown menu, and set the percentage that you prefer. This is a great option for those who frequently use the zoom feature and want to have a more personalized experience while browsing the web.

Additionally, it's worth noting that some websites may have their own zoom features that override the default settings in Safari. For example, some websites may have a "Zoom" button that allows you to quickly adjust the zoom level without having to navigate through the Safari menu options.

In conclusion, the zoom feature in Safari can be a useful tool for a variety of purposes, from making small text easier to read to getting a closer look at images on a webpage. Whether you prefer to use the menu options or customize the default settings, Safari makes it easy to adjust the zoom level to fit your needs.

Zooming In Using Safari's Touch Gestures

If you are using a touchpad or magic mouse, Safari also supports various touch gestures to zoom in on a page.

Pinch-to-Zoom on Trackpad and Magic Mouse

To zoom in with a trackpad or magic mouse, you can use the pinch-to-zoom gesture by placing two fingers on the trackpad or holding down the control key and scrolling up or down with the mouse wheel.

Double-Tap Zoom on Trackpad and Magic Mouse

You can double-tap with two fingers on the trackpad or double-click using a magic mouse to zoom in on the area you're focusing on.

Using Safari Extensions for Enhanced Zoom Control

If you are looking for additional control over your zoom experience, you can explore a variety of Safari extensions that can cater to your specific needs.

Popular Safari Zoom Extensions

Some of the popular Safari Zoom extensions include ZoomPage, Zoom Hub, and PerfectZoom. These extensions provide advanced options for zooming in and out of webpages in Safari.

Installing and Managing Safari Extensions

You can install extensions using the Safari Extension Gallery or third-party websites. To manage and remove extensions, open the "Safari" menu and select "Preferences." Choose the Extensions tab, and you can disable, remove, or customize the extension's settings.

Zooming in on a Safari browser couldn't be easier with the many options provided by the browser. Use the tips and tricks shared in this article to enhance your browsing experience and enjoy zooming in on webpages without hassle.

Safari changing zoom level of pages.

Since I recently upgraded to Ventura I have noticed that sometimes just moving the cursor across a page will cause the page to reformat at a high zoom level. The setting for the page still say it is at 100%, which is correct. I can often fix this by going to another page and then returning to the original one.

Any suggestions?

I turned off smart zoom to see if the behavior goes away. If it does, I may turn it back on and look into smart zoom. Smart zoom says it is done by double tapping with one finger. This happens when I just move the cursor across the screen. As far as I am aware I was not tapping anything. Also, once zoomed in, I could find no action that would zoom it out to its original size.

smart zoom is very sensitive. even though you are not deliberately double tapping, the mouse can "think" that you did. :)

Also, once zoomed in, I could find no action that would zoom it out to its original size.

it just takes another double tap. but it can at times zoom in even more. you can use the double tap to get it to eventually zoom back to 0%. it may take more than one to get you back to there.

In this article, we'll explore two simple methods to achieve this on your iPhone's Safari browser.

By mastering the art of zooming out, you can gain a better understanding of the overall structure and content of a webpage, making it easier to navigate and locate specific information. This skill can be particularly handy when you encounter websites with small text or when you want to see the bigger picture without constantly swiping and scrolling.

Whether you're a casual user or a seasoned web explorer, having this knowledge at your fingertips can significantly improve your browsing efficiency and overall user experience.

Now, let's delve into the step-by-step methods that will enable you to effortlessly zoom out of Safari on your iPhone, allowing you to gain a broader view of web content with just a few simple gestures or taps.

Method 1: Using the Pinch Gesture

When it comes to zooming out of Safari on your iPhone, the pinch gesture is a quick and intuitive method that allows you to effortlessly adjust the zoom level with just a few simple movements. This technique is especially handy when you want to shrink the content on your screen to get a broader view of the webpage. Here's how you can use the pinch gesture to zoom out in Safari:

Open Safari : Launch the Safari browser on your iPhone and navigate to the webpage you want to zoom out of. Whether you're exploring an article, browsing a product catalog, or simply checking out the latest news, this method works seamlessly across various types of web content.

Position Your Fingers : Once you're on the webpage, position your thumb and forefinger on the screen. Place them in a pinching motion, with your thumb and forefinger slightly apart from each other.

Perform the Pinch Gesture : With your fingers in position, gently pinch the screen by bringing your thumb and forefinger closer together. This action should be performed in a smooth and controlled manner to avoid any accidental taps or swipes.

Observe the Zoom Out Effect : As you execute the pinch gesture, you'll notice the content on the screen shrinking, allowing you to see more of the webpage at once. This zooming out effect provides a broader view of the content, making it easier to navigate and comprehend the layout of the webpage.

By accessing the Settings menu, you can effortlessly modify the default zoom settings, allowing you to achieve the desired level of zoom for your Safari browsing sessions.
