Chapter 32: How to use Magnifier in Windows 11

Magnifier is an accessibility tool built into Windows 11 that lets you magnify parts of the screen to make text and images easier to see. This tool is especially useful for people with vision problems, but it can also be useful for anyone who needs a little extra help seeing fine details in images or text. In this chapter, we will detail how to use Magnifier in Windows 11.

Activating the Magnifier

To enable Magnifier, you first need to open the accessibility settings. Press Windows key + I to open system settings. In the left pane, click 'Accessibility', and then click 'Magnifying Glass' in the right pane.

On the Magnifier page, you will see a switch to turn Magnifier on or off. Click the switch to turn on the Magnifier. When Magnifier is enabled, you will see a magnifying glass window appear on your screen. You can move this window around the screen to magnify different parts of the screen.

Using the Magnifying Glass

Magnifier has three different modes: full-screen view mode, lens mode, and docked mode. You can switch between these modes by clicking the 'View Mode' button in the Magnifier window.

In full screen view mode, the entire screen is enlarged. You can move the zoomed view by moving the mouse or using the arrow keys.

In lens mode, the Magnifier works like a magnifying glass that follows the mouse cursor. Only the area under the lens is enlarged.

In docked mode, Magnifier creates a fixed window that zooms. You can move the mouse cursor to the area you want to magnify, and that area will appear in the docked window.

Customizing the Magnifier

There are several settings you can customize to make Magnifier easier to use. For example, you can adjust the Magnifier's zoom level. To do this, use the 'Zoom' slider on the Magnifier settings page. You can choose any value between 100% (no zoom) and 1500% (very high zoom).

You can also choose whether Magnifier should start automatically when you start Windows. To do this, enable the 'Launch Magnifier after signing in' option on the Magnifier settings page.

Also, you can choose whether the Magnifier should invert colors. When this option is activated, the Magnifier inverts the colors of the enlarged area. This may make text and images easier to see for some people.

Conclusion

Magnifier is a powerful tool that can make Windows 11 more accessible for people with vision problems. With the ability to adjust the zoom level, choose between different viewing modes, and customize other settings, Magnifier is a versatile tool that can be tailored to your specific needs.
