Why Is My Text So Small in Photoshop?

Last updated on May 11, 2023 @ 9:14 am

If you’re like me, you probably spend a lot of time in Photoshop. And if you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed that the text can sometimes be really small.

Like, really, really small. So small that you can’t even read it!

Why is this? Well, it turns out that there’s a reason for it. And once you know the reason, it’s actually quite easy to fix.

The reason your text is small in Photoshop is that the default font size is set to a very small value like less than 5 points. You can adjust the font size by selecting the text layer and then changing the font size in the options bar or in the Character panel. Just change the font size to a higher value to make your text look bigger.

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop and you notice that your text is suddenly appearing very small on the screen, do not panic! This is most likely due to a change in the ‘View’ settings within the program. To fix this, simply go to the ‘View’ menu and select ‘100%’.

Another issue is that the zoom level of the document may be too low, making the text appear small. You can zoom in by pressing Ctrl/Cmd and the plus (+) key, or by using the Zoom Tool.

By adjusting these settings, you should be able to make your text look bigger and more visible in Photoshop. And that’s it! Now you know why your text was so small in Photoshop, and how to fix it!
