Text Zoom is a Chrome extension designed to improve your online reading experience by letting you increase font sizes without changing the page layout. With an intuitive slider widget that appears on the left side of your screen, you can quickly adjust text size to your preference, helping reduce eye strain and improve legibility.

Key features include per-domain font size retention, easy on/off toggling, and keyboard shortcuts (ALT + / ALT - / ALT 0) for fast access. Whether you're a casual surfer aiming to protect your eyesight or a heavy reader looking for more comfortable text display, Text Zoom offers an accessible, user-friendly solution. Privacy is respected as the extension only accesses site data to inject the zoom widget, without any data extraction or tracking.

User reviews

Users widely praise Text Zoom for effectively increasing font sizes across all websites without disturbing website layouts, greatly enhancing readability. It is appreciated for its ease of use, unobtrusive design, and ability to maintain page integrity. However, users desire better customization options, more responsive shortcuts, reduced delay in zoom application, and improved control over the UI slider. Some also note it doesn't work within specific text editor fields, which reduces its utility in certain contexts.

Pros

Works universally across all websites, effectively increasing text size without altering page layout or images.
Easy to use with a user-friendly interface and unobtrusive design.
Helps improve readability, especially on websites with small fonts or complex layouts.
Maintains website structure integrity while zooming text, avoiding distortion common with browser zoom.
Free and accessible, offering significant help for users needing better text visibility.

Cons

Lack of customization options for site-specific access and the on-screen widget behavior.
Issues with keyboard shortcuts interfering with workflow or not working as expected.
Some delays (1-2 seconds) in applying zoom after page load or navigation causing annoyance.
Slider control is considered too large and sometimes difficult to manage or hide.
Inability to increase text size within certain text editors, limiting functionality.
