How to Change Font Size in QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks Online, the web-based version of QuickBooks, does not have a built-in feature that allows you to change the font size directly within its interface. However, you can still achieve a change in font size by adjusting your browser settings or using browser features. Here’s how to do it step by step for several popular browsers.

Using Browser Zoom Features

One of the quickest ways to change the font size in QuickBooks Online is by using the zoom functionality of your web browser. This will enlarge or reduce the entire webpage, not just the text.

For Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox:

1. Open QuickBooks Online in your browser.
2. Press Ctrl + + (Windows) or Cmd + + (Mac) to zoom in and increase the font size.
3. To decrease the font size, press Ctrl + - (Windows) or Cmd + - (Mac).
4. To return the browser to its default zoom level press Ctrl + 0 (Windows) or Cmd + 0 (Mac).

For Safari:

1. Open QuickBooks Online in Safari.
2. To increase the font size, select “View” in the top menu and then click “Zoom In,” or use the shortcut Cmd + +.
3. To decrease the font size, select “View” then “Zoom Out,” or use the shortcut Cmd + -.
4. To reset the zoom level to the default, select “View” and then “Actual Size,” or use the shortcut Cmd + 0.

Adjusting the Browser’s Font Size Setting

If you want to change only the font size without zooming the entire page, some browsers allow you to do so in the settings:

For Google Chrome:

1. Click the three dots at the top right corner of Chrome to open the menu.
2. Select “Settings.”
3. Scroll down and click on “Appearance.”
4. Under “Font Size,” select the size you prefer.

For Mozilla Firefox:

1. Click the three horizontal lines at the top right corner to open the menu.
2. Choose “Options” or “Preferences.”
3. Navigate to “Language and Appearance.”
4. Under “Fonts & Colors,” click “Advanced.”
5. From here, you can adjust the minimum font size.

Please note that changing the font size setting in your browser will impact all websites you visit, not just QuickBooks Online.

Using Browser Extensions or Add-ons

Some browsers support extensions or add-ons that can change the font size or style on web pages:

For example, in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox:

1. Go to the browser’s web store or add-ons page.
2. Search for a font size or text resizing extension, like “Font Size Increase” or “Zoom Text Only.”
3. Add the extension to your browser.
4. Use the extension’s options to increase the text size specifically for QuickBooks Online.

Additional Considerations

If you’re using QuickBooks Online for accounting purposes, be aware that changing the font size may affect the layout and visibility of certain elements on the page. Always make sure that you can still easily navigate and read all necessary information after making any adjustments.

By following these steps, you should be able to comfortably view your financial information in QuickBooks Online at a font size that works best for you. Keep in mind that these changes will affect your viewing experience on all websites you visit in your browser.
