Increasing size of menu items, pointers, and cursors in Photoshop 2025

Question

I'm having a very difficult time due to the sizes of the menu items at the top of my screen and the cursor sizes when I'm editing an image. How do I increase these sizes? I'm running the app on a Windows 11 desktop.

Hi @esdavis1941 What screen size, and resolution?

Are you using multiple monitors?

Is Photoshop the main app you use on this computer?

First thing to do is a definite, and that's to use the Preference settings already advised by @lambiloon

The second thing is optional, and depends on how desperate you are.

In Windows Display Settings you can adjust the scale.

My situation was so dire that I ended up using a 4K monitor set to 2K because I had a similar problem. Far from ideal, but it is what it is.

You can also adjust system font size in Display Settings > Scale

Good luck
