The only text zoom extension that works!!
Saves your zoom setting for each domain.
Leave a ★★★★★ review with feature request.
Default Keyboard Shortcuts:
Zoom in: Alt + =
Zoom out: Alt + -
Reset Zoom: Alt + 0
Known bugs:
- There is a small delay from when the page loads to when it gets zoomed. Only way to fix this is for chrome devs to implement this functionality natively.
- Some pages which use a lot of javascript to render parts of the page don't get the zoom applied (i.e. twitter.com)
- The extension does not come with any sounds. If you hear sounds when changing the zoom level those are due to the system sound scheme. This video has information on how to turn it off.

- (2025-03-06) Kay Morgan-Gurr: Why has this been turned off? It's brilliant and does what google doesn't (make text big enough). There isn't another extension that does what this does - I NEED IT!!!! Please bring it back NOW! I'm stuck without it.
- (2024-10-12) J Loveys: Just had a notification that this extension has been turned off because " it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." What exactly is it doing wrong? I need something I can use on a per-site basis that makes *text* bigger but not images, and this does exactly that. What's the issue here?
- (2024-04-13) Bryan Fisk: The exension works well and I do find it useful. However, the 5 second long "Text zoom nnn%" overlay is too anoying and cannot be disabled. So I will be looking for the same zoom on other extensions. Removed from chrome.

- (2022-07-29) Tan Le: Good, but there's bug necessary to be fixed. It's in wikipedia (and maybe in other websites), the hovercard text is not be zoomed.

- (2022-06-03) Wo De: Not very good. I have to zoom the text on every webpage. I would like the extension remember the settings to all webpages.

- (2018-04-20) Nabeel Khalid: Finally this extension solved my biggest problem. I could not zoom on Google results without sidebar moving out of the screen. This extension only zooms in text without breaking the layout. THANK YOU whoever made this.

- (2018-03-07) Michael Rhum: Very useful. A couple of suggestions, though. 1. Reverse the order of the zoom buttons. For better or worse, -/+ has become the de facto standard and it's confusing to switch between +/- and -/+. Or make it an option. 2. Display the zoom level on the icon. Thanks for the great work!

- (2018-02-25) Michael Couch: Can't get it to work. Button combinations don't respond. Ideally this should have a browser button/icon with controls. But it doesn't so I can't use it.
