How to Change Text Size, Colors, and Customize Website Content

This page provides general information on how to adjust website content to your needs — for example, how to change text size or zoom level, adjust colors, increase contrast, or navigate using a keyboard or screen reader.

Most customization options are briefly introduced here, with more detailed instructions and user guides available through links to external resources. Some of these external resources are provided in English.

Ajusting Content in Your Browser

How to Zoom In or Out in Your Browser

All modern browsers allow you to zoom in and out using keyboard shortcuts: hold down Ctrl (on macOS – ⌘ Cmd) and press + or -.

Another convenient method is to hold Ctrl (or ⌘ Cmd) and scroll with your mouse wheel. To reset the view to the default size, press Ctrl (or ⌘ Cmd) and 0 simultaneously.

Keyboard shortcuts for changing zoom depending on operating system

Below are specific instructions for various browsers on how to change page or text-only zoom:

Other Text and Color Adjustments

Some browsers allow you to set default font size, style, and color. These options are usually found in a section called Appearance in the browser settings.

Other text and color settings can be found in Reader Mode (sometimes called Reading Mode or Reader View). Reader Mode removes menus and ads, allowing you to select font, size, and text/background colors.

Advanced Options Using Browser Extensions

Various browser extensions provide additional options for changing zoom, text size, and appearance.

Below are links to extension directories for specific browsers:

Browser extensions can be installed directly into your browser. Most are designed for a specific browser, but some — like Dark Reader — are available for several browsers. This extension enables dark mode on any website.

Zoom extensions (often including the word “Zoom” in their name) are also very popular, allowing you to quickly change zoom without opening browser settings.

You can also use extensions to adjust website color schemes. For example, Colour Enhancer for Chrome lets you modify or remove specific colors that are hard to distinguish — useful for users with color vision deficiencies (color blindness).

Another valuable tool is OpenDyslexic, which replaces website fonts with a specially designed font that improves readability for people with dyslexia.

Adjusting Content in the Operating System (OS)

You can also customize content at the operating system level in all major OSs. This allows you to configure an environment that best fits your needs once — without adjusting settings on each website or app individually.

Customization options include:

  • Scaling on-screen content, changing text, app, and element sizes
  • Enabling high-contrast mode
  • Choosing dark or light mode
  • Applying color inversion or filters
  • Automatically showing captions on media content
  • Reducing motion and animations
  • Changing mouse pointer color and size
  • And other accessibility features.

Keyboard Navigation

You can navigate this website using only the keyboard. Press Tab ↹ to move forward through interactive elements, or Shift + Tab ↹ to move backward. The currently focused element will be outlined with a visible border. To activate an element, press Enter ↵ or Space.

The first automatically focused link on this website is Skip to content – it is intended for keyboard and screen reader users (not visible on screen). This link skips the site header and navigation, moving focus directly to the main content.

Screen Reader Navigation

A screen reader is software that reads aloud the text displayed on a computer screen using a speech synthesizer. It helps blind and low-vision users browse the web and use computers or mobile devices.

Popular screen readers include:

  • VoiceOver (free, built into macOS and iOS / Apple products)
  • TalkBack (free, built into Android devices)
  • Narrator (free, built into Windows)
  • NVDA (free, for Windows)
  • JAWS (paid, for Windows)
