How to unzoom Chrome-* console

Question

I've a little problem with chromium 19.0.1058.0 (124615). I've been in the console on the "new tab" tab. Then i wrote a function in the console, then i typed "}" (with alt-gr). It zoomed my console.

What can i do to reset the zoom in DevTools?

On Mac with a keyboard layout where you cannot do shift++ (since you need shift to do a +, like on the French keyboard layout) you have to "Undock into seperate window", and only then can use Command+0, Command++ or Command+- like you would in a normal window.

Hi on French layout (Ubuntu) `ctrl + 0` does the job. – Eric Burel Aug 27 '19 at 14:31

Undock is the one for me, thank you. – hayatbiralem Nov 30 '21 at 15:45

I have the same problem when typing ] with AltGr++ key the console interprets as zoom in. (More info on AltGr key here)

To zoom out try pushing AltGr+- or Ctrl+-.

To type } try its Ascii code, which is 125: AltGr+125

Reset chrome zoom to default inside console/devtools:

MAC version: command(⌘) + 0

WINDOWS version: ctrl + 0

Type of keyboard might influence the result. In this case, just go to your machine's settings and set temporarily US keyboard.

Click inside the dev console, this puts it in focus.

Doesn't work for me. shift with + or - zooms in and out on the page, but after clicking on the console only zooming out works. However cmd + 0 worked to restore the size to normal. – Bemmu Apr 12 '17 at 14:15

With my laptop french keyboard (lenovo yoga 700 14-isk) no minus is available ! only the dash key is. Thus only "ctrl" + "0" allowed me to unzoom ... – user1767316 Aug 26 '18 at 22:15

I've mistakenly zoomed in my devtools panel and this `Ctrl` + `0` shortcut, takes it back to default zoom level. Thank you for pointing it out. – Amoo Hesam Jul 02 '20 at 21:01

I am using brave (a chrome based browser). None of the shortcut above worked for me. To reset the zoom, I clicked on "Run command"

Then I searched for the "Reset zoom level" command.

At least with my french keyboard, unlike documented within chrome, one should use

ctrl+= and
ctrl+0

to zoom and unzoom

instead of ctrl++ ctrl+-

I had the same problem and the solutions suggested above didn't work for me. To fix the issue, I had to (I am on a mac):

Close Chrome
Navigate to ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/Default
Open the Preferences file
Locate the devtoolskey and switch its zoom level to 0.

Hope that helps!

Sometimes on a japanese keyboard to zoom in you may need CMD + ^ instead

For anyone struggling with this on Mac (tested on Mac 10.14.6 aka Mojave) Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Enable Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar

This will show a new icon in the menu bar, open the Keyboard Viewer. Now press CMD + 0 (on the number pad):
