Zoom in & Zoom out in Google Docs
Zooming via Browser Settings

There is not much to talk about here. Zooming in and out is a basic feature of all text editors and, literally, every tool to work with the texts and graphics: Google Docs, Google Slides, and Google Sheets, Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe Photoshop, for example, and basically, everything.

Watch the video from https://thegoodocs.com/ and find out how to zoom in and zoom out in Google Docs:

Zoom in & Zoom out in Google Docs

In Google Docs, zooming in and out is performed via this button with the percentage on it, located on the left of the toolbar on top of the page

Press on the little down arrow next to a scale percentage and choose between the standard values

For example, let`s go up to 200% and see the result

And then we get back and switch to 50%, for instance. That`s how it works

So, we have shown you how to zoom in and zoom out in Google Docs with the help of this button with the percentage.

Additionally, you can make the document completely fit on your screen. In this case, press “Fit” here (you will see this item in the screenshot, too)

NB! And you can set a custom document scale if you press on the percentage number itself. Then delete what`s in there and enter your number. And press “Enter” to apply the changes.

Zooming via Browser Settings

Or, by the way, you can zoom in or out the entire page via your browser.

Go to your browser settings. For Google Chrome, they are here, in the top right corner. There are these three dots that we press

And locate the Zoom line here. You can apply “+” or “-” to zoom in or out the entire page. Or use the shortcuts: Ctrl with “+” or “-” (for zooming in or out) on a keyboard for a PC and Cmd with “+” or “-” (for zooming in or out) on a keyboard for a Mac

We hope this tutorial will help you learn how to zoom in and zoom out in Google Docs. Good luck!
