Lightshot is a popular screenshot tool that allows users to capture and edit images on their computer. While it offers a variety of features, one common issue users face is the small text size in the editing interface. This can make it difficult to read and edit text, especially for those with visual impairments. In this article, we will discuss how to increase text size in lightshot, as well as some tips for improving text visibility in other programs.
Using the zoom feature
The simplest way to increase text size in lightshot is by using the zoom feature. This will enlarge the entire editing interface, making it easier to read and edit text. To use this feature, simply click on the “Zoom” button located in the top right corner of the editing interface. You can also use the shortcut “Ctrl + +” to zoom in and “Ctrl + -” to zoom out. This feature is especially useful for those with visual impairments or for when working on a small screen.
Changing the font size
Another way to increase text size in lightshot is by changing the font size. This can be done by clicking on the “Font” button located in the top toolbar. From here, you can select a larger font size from the drop-down menu. You can also use the shortcut “Ctrl + Shift + >” to increase font size and “Ctrl + Shift + <" to decrease font size. Keep in mind that this will only affect the text you are currently editing and not the overall interface.
Adjusting your computer’s display settings
If you are still having trouble reading text in lightshot, you may need to adjust your computer’s display settings. This can be done by going to your computer’s control panel and selecting “Display.” From here, you can adjust the size of text, apps, and other items on your screen. Increasing this setting will make all text on your computer larger, including in lightshot. Keep in mind that this will affect all programs on your computer, not just lightshot.
