Make text and other items on the screen bigger on Mac - Apple Support


Make text and icons bigger across apps and system features

You can use a single slider to adjust the preferred reading size for text across multiple apps, as well as on the desktop and in sidebars.

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Accessibility  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Click Display on the right, go to Text, then click “Text size.” (You may need to scroll down.)
  3. Drag the slider to the right to increase the text size on the desktop, in sidebars, and in the listed apps (if they are set to Use Preferred Reading Size).
  4. To set a different text size for any of the listed apps, click the pop-up menu next to the app, then choose a size.
  5. Note: If an app is set to Customized in App, a unique text size has been set in that app’s settings. If you change the app’s text size in System Settings, it replaces the text size customization you set in the app.
