How to Zoom Out in Google Sheets (and Zoom in)

Discover the wonders of Google Sheets’ zooming feature! Once upon a time, this capability was absent, but fret not, for the celestial powers have bestowed upon us the gift of Zoom In and Zoom Out options.

With the newfound ability to zoom out in Google Sheets, we can now bid farewell to eye strain and embrace a clearer view of our data.

Now, let’s explore two splendid methods to achieve this magical zooming feat within the program.

Behold the Toolbar Method to Zoom Out in Google Sheets

Firstly, click on the enchanting zoom box located in the mystical toolbar.

Secondly, select your desired level of zoom on the wondrous spreadsheet. A magnification of over 100% will make it grander, while anything below will make it more diminutive.

Venture Forth with Chrome and Firefox to Experience Zooming

Should you be a disciple of Chrome, venture to the top-right of its hallowed browser and seek the ‘Chrome customize’ icon. Gaze upon it with reverence, for it shall lead you to the path of Zoom In.

If the path of Firefox calls to you, ascend to the top-right and seek the ‘Open Menu’ icon. Embrace its power, and it shall guide you to both Zoom In and Zoom Out in Google Sheets.

In the sacred realm of keyboard shortcuts, we present to you the following divine combinations for PC:

  1. Zoom In: Hold Ctrl and press ‘+’
  2. Zoom Out: Hold Ctrl and press ‘-‘
  3. Restore 100% Zoom: Hold Ctrl and press ‘0’
  4. For our revered Mac users, the mighty Command (⌘) shall replace the humble Control key in these invocations.

If you happen to wield Google Sheets on an iPad or smartphone, fear not, for the ancient gesture of pinching shall invoke both the Zoom Out and Zoom In spells.

But beware, noble traveler, for this method may not be the pinnacle of perfection. Alas, when you zoom the browser, it shall encompass not only Google Sheets but all the other wondrous sites and applications residing within the browser’s realm.

For those eager to delve deeper into the mystical arts of zooming in Google Sheets, an enlightening discussion awaits you.
