Make text easier to read on your Mac
Recent macOS; available controls vary
When to use this: Make text easier to read on your Mac — use these initial checks when this matches your situation. On a work or school device, follow your organization's policies and stop if a setting is managed.
- Open System Settings and choose Accessibility.
- Open Display and look for Text size.
- Increase supported text sizes gradually.
- Open an app you use regularly and check its menus and content.
- Use the app’s own text or zoom controls if system changes do not affect it.
Check the result: You can read comfortably without losing access to essential controls.
Stop and get help when needed: Some apps use their own settings. Avoid changing several display settings at once so you can easily undo a change.
