Chrome's way
Chrome’s built-in ways to zoom
| To do this | Windows and Linux | Mac |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom in | Ctrl++ | ⌘++ |
| Zoom out | Ctrl+- | ⌘+- |
| Back to the default size | Ctrl+0 | ⌘+0 |
You can also open the More menu (⋮) and use the zoom buttons next to Zoom.
Chrome remembers the zoom for each site. To make every page bigger or smaller, open the More menu, choose Settings, then Appearance, and pick a size next to Page zoom. Saved zoom levels for single sites are listed under Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Additional content settings > Zoom levels, where you can remove them.

TabCmdr's way
Zoom from the TabCmdr palette
TabCmdr is a keyboard launcher that lives in your browser. Its zoom commands sit in the same search box you use to find tabs, and each one shows a short note when it’s done.
Before you start: add TabCmdr from the Chrome Web Store. It has a 7-day free trial and needs no account.
Step 1: Open the palette and type zoom
Press ⌘+K on a Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux, then type zoom. Zoom In, Reset Zoom and Zoom Out show up under Commands.
zoom lists all three zoom commands.Step 2: Press Enter for each step
Zoom In is already highlighted. Press Enter and the zoom goes up 10%, for example from 100% to 110%. The palette stays open and shows Zoomed in, so press Enter again for the next step. To make the page smaller, press ↓ to Zoom Out first.
The palette sits on top of the page, so it grows and shrinks with the page’s zoom. TabCmdr zooms from 25% up to 500%. Like Chrome’s own zoom, the new level applies to every open tab from the same site.
Step 3: Reset when you’re done
Type reset zoom and press Enter. The page goes back to 100%, the palette closes and Zoom reset shows at the bottom of the page.
Reset Zoom always sets 100%. If you picked a different default under Page zoom in Chrome’s settings, press Ctrl+0 (⌘+0 on a Mac) to go back to that size instead.
