How to increase or decrease the VKontakte font on a computer?
After the redesign and total update of the site interface, the function of changing the font size disappeared, despite the fact that previously these parameters could be adjusted in “Settings”. But even now, users can increase or decrease the size of the displayed content on the site using standard tools in their browser. To zoom the site closer and thus enlarge the font, you just need to hold down the ctrl button and roll the mouse wheel forward. At the same time, a special window will appear in the upper right corner of the browser that will show the current page zoom. You can also control it using the “+” and “-“ buttons.
To return the size back or reduce it, hold down ctrl and roll the mouse wheel down.
Note!
By applying this method, you will be able to enlarge not only the displayed text on sites, but also all other content.

Changing the font size in browser settings
Quite a radical option. Go to your browser settings, find “Content Display” or something like that. There will be default font settings. Set the size of the main text as convenient for you and save the new settings. Since you need to establish a comfortable visit to VKontakte, focus on adjusting the font size specifically for the VKontakte site.
It should be kept in mind that different fonts are used on websites on the Internet. Therefore, by tuning in to one resource, you confuse the settings for others. Still, don't forget about the mouse wheel and the Ctrl key.
For smartphone and tablet
To enlarge the font in your gadget, open the page and spread your thumb and forefinger in different directions diagonally on the device, as if stretching the image. This will enlarge the page and allow you to easily read even the smallest font. The reverse action will help return everything to its original state.
The interface is a purely individual thing. There will always be a user who is not satisfied with something, because you really want to make your account unusual and non-standard, thereby attracting attention, making new friends who will comment on photos and give “likes”. How to do this?
It is precisely for such people who are “dissatisfied” with the administration of the most popular social network that there are several options for registering a user account. You can opt for a standard blue interface, or you can make your page pre-revolutionary or sports - it all depends on your preferences.
Today we’ll talk about how to change the font on VKontakte in various ways. For many, this question is really relevant. It’s worth noting that the standard font on VKontakte is small. On the one hand, this is justified by the fact that your page contains a lot of information that will be fully visible. On the other hand, users with low vision are extremely unhappy with this. Fortunately, such a problem cannot be called a problem. It's just a matter of a few minutes. And this can be done in several ways.
How to increase the font on VKontakte: method 1
Find the “ctrl” key on the keyboard of your computer device and hold it down. With your other hand, start scrolling the mouse wheel. This will help you scale the page to the required size. Just remember that not only text information will increase, but also all materials located here (pictures, videos, photographs).
This method is incredibly simple and ideal for those who, at a given specific moment in time, need to look at something in more detail or read text written in very small font. If you need to constantly work with enlarged text, we recommend that you use the second method.
How to increase the font on VKontakte: method 2
The VKontakte administration specifically provided for this. So, go to your page and select “Settings” in the list of categories on the left. Having entered the tab, scroll through it almost to the very end, until you reach “Appearance Settings”. There, check the box suggesting the use of larger fonts.
It cannot be said that the result of such a simple operation will exceed all your expectations. The font will increase, but not by much. Although for some users this is quite enough.
How to increase the font on VKontakte: method 3
This method involves changing the scale through your browser menu. In fact, it can be considered an analogue of the first method.
If your browser is Chrome, then find the wrench on the toolbar (top right), then the line “Scale”. Here we click the cursor on the “+” icon until we achieve the desired result.
If your browser is Mozilla, then find and click the orange (purple) button (top left), then click on “Settings” and “Menu Bar”. There we find “View”, select “Zoom” and, finally, “Enlarge”.
If your browser is Opera, click the button (top left), then “Page” and “Zoom”, which is recommended to be increased to 120-150%.
How to increase the font size in VKontakte for Safari browser users? It's also very simple. We go to the browser, look for the gear icon (top right), click on it. In “Settings” we look for a tab called “Add-ons” and check the box next to “The font size is always less than...” We change the current value of 9 to 20, for example, and evaluate the result.
Now you know how to change the font on VKontakte, adapting it as much as possible to your needs and characteristics. Now is the time to change the theme of the page itself. But we'll talk about this another time.
When a resource allows the user to make flexible settings, this is always good. But, unfortunately, this point does not apply to VKontakte, at least because it does not have the ability to change the scale of the site. However, this does not mean at all that this cannot be done, so to speak, with improvised means. The article will talk about how to reduce the scale, but the instructions will also be applicable in the opposite direction, with its help you can also increase it.
