🔍 ABOUT
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
OpenDyslexic is a free, open-source font designed to make reading easier for people with dyslexia. This extension replaces all fonts on web pages with the OpenDyslexic font, making content more readable and accessible.

Sometimes letters can feel jumbled or rotated, making reading frustrating. OpenDyslexic tackles this by giving each letter a heavier bottom, creating a "gravity" effect that helps keep them steady and grounded. This unique design makes it easier to recognize letters and read smoothly.

The distinct shapes of the letters also reduce confusion and swapping, so you can focus on reading without the struggle.

The font really helps but it has trouble loading in special characters like a check mark as well as buttons on my work website

Wendy Johnson 2025-07-26

It's great for reading on websites, but i cannot identify a way to install the font for reading emails on Mail+ for Gmail on a MacAir. Could you advise me please. The only advice i found on google, was to ask yourselves and gmail. Thank you

Shani Coleman 2025-07-23

The font is Great!! and has helped me with reading and studying alot since it came out but im trying to get it to work on exam fx where i need it the most for my certification and it wont work with the site

Sean Ryal 2025-06-12

Love the font, but the formating seems to not allow for icon buttons on websites to remain as normal but instead types out the full icon. For example an "I" icon for Italic will be typed out as "Italic_font" which causes things to layer on websites which sadly makes it unusable for me.

works for ADHD too! (for me at least)

Robin Graves 2025-05-20

I super love this extension. I have it installed on my work system but as of this morning, 5/20, it is giving text labels for the buttons in GCal. ie keyboard_arrow_up instead of the arrow button

Tylwyth 2025-05-17

The font is great, but there seems to be a slight issue in formatting: when you turn on the extension, bold text doesn't remain bold unless you are using the OpenDyslexic Italic. For OpenDyslexic and OpenDyslexic Bold all text appears the same.

Jace Roesner 2025-01-08

Amazing!!!

Eileen 2024-11-01

Really helped me so much. I didn't have high expectations when I decided to try this out, but it's been such a game changer for me when trying to get school and work stuff done.

Felonius Asseater 2024-10-27

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED FWEND

Lauren 2024-10-21

Wonderfully helpful. Add a pfd function and I will be in reader heaven.

Hayden 2024-09-10

Thank you so much for making this. I cannot stress enough how necessary this is for me, as a college student dealing with a required online textbook that uses an atrociously vague font. Making this free and accessible to all, especially with the extra bold feature, is such a helpful public service to those with visual processing disabilities and/or dyslexia <3

Stuart 2024-06-24

Thank you, really helpful.

Hello World 2024-06-19

It will be very helpful if also worked with pdf files, can you do that?

Daan 2024-06-17

yes, yes, yes this is awesome

Deven Sutcliffe 2024-06-07

Just a feature idea - It would be absolutely amazing if this would work on Google Docs.

Amanda Young 2024-05-25

It works great for my sister, my main issue is that I can't remove it from my own chrome and it messes with the ui on some websites I visit

Amy Trentalange 2024-01-17

This plug in is super helpful, but I wish it worked a little more seamlessly. There are many websites, including this google chrome web store page, which do not display in the font with the plug in activated.

This extension is very useful for somebody with dyslexia and ASD, so this might also be helpful for other neurodivergencies :D

Unfortunately doesn't work on the majority of things I look at. Doesn't change any hyperlinks like the titles of Google search results and for some reason doesn't work on the YouTube comments section.

I love this, it helps me to read/comprehend better. I've notice that it doesn't recognize and/or do well with words that are Italicized or Bolded. Either that or it's just really hard to tell. It also doesn't work with certain sites, for example this website. Certain sites get reverted to the default font. Other than those things, I really like this Extension!

I love this extension. It helps me with reading all the source material I have for school. But it's stopped working! No matter what I do I can't get it to change fonts on anything anymore. I uninstall and reinstall, I make sure it's turned "On" and nothing. I hope it's fixed soon!

Great and simple extension. There's a few things on websites that it doesn't work with. Needs the ability to turn if off for individual websites!

Gracias por la extensión de OpenDyslexic, Con ella me es posible, leer y escribir con mayor rapidez y certeza. Disminuyendo el estrés, los errores y aumentando mi concentración.

It works for me! I just added the extension. To those who say it doesn't work, try refreshing your browser. Also? When I first turned on the extension, nothing happened. I turned it back off, reloaded the page, then turned it back on. And it works! The kink that I ran into could easily have been due to I literally have 30 tabs open at the moment. Love this extension!
