Hi everyone, thanks for the passionate feedback. Francis from Adobe here. I’m a Principal Product Manager on Premiere Pro.

 

The real talk is that yes, we did underestimate how many of you were utilizing the Console to adjust font size!

 

UI font size adjustment has been a request that’s been made for years and got shifted or re-prioritized from time to time. As your monitors have gotten larger, your requests have understandably got louder.

 

You’ve probably seen that Adobe moved to a new unifie

Seems they are all gone.

Does not seem to be any workaround but setting scale in the OS.

Hello @yuvrajp736,

Thanks for the message. Unfortunately, this is not a bug but a feature request. You had previously changed the fonts using an engineering tool, which is only for internal use.

 

Since then, the UI has been completely rebuilt, so the internal "feature" you found is likely no longer there. Please create a feature request or upvote an existing one to have this feature once more. I upvoted. Sorry for the frustration.

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Can we have an overall UI font size control or a per panel font size control.

Now only on the Project Panel. Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large.

I could use point sizes better. I'm needing Extra Extra Large.

This would be great for the Effects control tab too.

I'm squinting too much now.

Please make it possible and easy to change the GUI font size in Premiere Pro! With this update, my effects panel font size is painfully small.

 

Is there any hope or solution?

dagmarillo, if you're on the mac, you can map "zoom" to control scroll wheel and zoom in where ever your cursor is.  Not an ideal solution, but might help...  Not sure if there's something in windows to do the same thing. Screenshot 2024-10-14 at 8.18.00 PM.png

Unfortunately there isn’t. We’ve been asking for UI scaling for YEARS!

It's possible to increase the DPI scaling for Windows but doesn't affect Premiere really.

That's why it's important to match your 'high resolution' monitor with the the right pixel size. If the pixel size is too small (ie: it will be if you have a hi-res monitor that's not physically large enough), you'll have problems, especially with 'older eyes'. For me, I can't go beyond 2560x1400 with a 32" monitor. I'd need at least 40" to move to UHD.

 

When you use OS screen scaling, you are essentially dumbing down (reducing the resolution) of your very high-res monitor.

Mod note: References to internal tools were removed.

Can this feautre be reinstated, as the new interface's UI font size is very small?

 

Either this, or provide an in-software way to adjust the Global UI altogether, from an accessibility perspective.

UI has been changed significant. Setting in Database (most likely) won't be re-instated.

Just updated to Premiere Pro V25.

I can't seam to change the UI font size anymore.

This should have been in the Preferences years ago.

Any work around???

Previously I could (perform an unsupported workaround)

I have a 4k moniter and the product is not useable as the text is so tiny

After 2025 update the 'option'  to increase font size has been removed.

I am guessing lots of people used this option (including me) as on a large monitor the font is very tiny.

Being able to change font size in the Project window does not solve the issue, nor does scaling in the OS.

I started another conversation about this and was told there was no option to increase it. Adobe needs to consider people over the age of 40!!
