The Page Zoom feature helps display the web content at a higher or lower resolution than the system default. The Safari browser is set to system default 100%.
However, we can customize it to make the text font and images appear large or minimized. It’s an excellent accessibility feature built into the web browser.

Set a Default Page Zoom Level
As a relief to your eyes, the zoom feature will make it highly convenient for you to read even in low light. It will save you a lot of strain. Here are the steps to enable page zoom:
- Launch the Safari browser app on a Mac computer.
- Select Safari from the Menubar options.
- Choose the Preferences… option under the Safari menu.
- Switch to the Websites tab within the Preferences popup window.
- Click and open Page Zoom options.
- At the bottom, select the page zooming level percentage from the drop-down.
It will enable the page to zoom in or out according to your settings in the Safari browser. The default percentage is 100%; anything less than 100% shrinks the screen, and over 100% magnifies the screen.
Next time you load any web page, it will default to the level of zooming you selected on the settings page.
