Adjust Gmail Font Size

Adjust Gmail Font Size

The font size of your emails in Gmail is easy to adjust to a slightly larger format.


Are the letters in Gmail a little on the small side? With a few mouse clicks you can make the default letter of e-mails slightly or considerably larger. That’s a lot nicer!

Keep in mind that only the font size of your own e-mail texts has been adjusted. The answers you get are still in the normal (smaller) font. Unless the other person has also changed their settings. Of course you can always forward this tip to the person you are e-mailing with. You therefore mainly set a larger letter in Gmail because it is more pleasant for you to type or because the recipient likes to see a large letter.
