• The Gmail layout is fluid, which means it changes its width according to the window size of the browser. 
• Check our keyboard shortcuts in this article for quick ways to adjust the size and make it exactly how you need it to be. 
• If you are having other issues besides this one, check our Gmail Section on the site for additional help. 
• Perhaps the Email Clients Guide will be of assistance in improving your workflow.

With over 1 billion users, Gmail seems to be the email provider of choice for many.  Now, one of the reasons behind its surging popularity is the ease of use and integration with other Google products such as Google Drive.

But like with any other application, users sometimes experience challenges with one of the most common being that Gmail window is too wide, large or small.  This is what we will tackle today.

How to correct your Gmail window if it’s too wide/large/small

Solution 1: Gmail window is too wide or large

1. Hold the CTRL key on the keyboard
2. While holding the CTRL key, tap the – key located next to + and the Backspace keys on your keyboard.
3. Tap repeatedly until the window reduces to a size you are comfortable with.

Solution 2: Gmail window is too small

1. Hold the CTRL key on the keyboard
2. While holding the CTRL bolting, tap the + key located next to – and the Backspace keys.
3. Tap repeatedly until the window enlarges to your required size.

Please note that you can do this using the mouse with a scroll wheel.  You will need to scroll either up (to increase the Gmail window size) or down (decrease your Gmail size).

How do I make Gmail full screen?

Viewing Gmail in full screen may make it easier to read /write emails. Here is how to enable full-screen mode:

1. Log in to your Gmail.
2. Now press F11 on your keyboard to start reading/composing emails in Gmail’s full screen.

How To Disable Gmail’s Full Screen

1. Simply tap F11 again to restore Gmail’s standard screen.

These steps work in any browser as they are Gmail specific and you should notice changes immediately. If for some reason you are not, log out then login and retry.

The following user-reported issues are quite similar in nature:

• Gmail margins too wide – Adjusting the window using this guide should fix this.
• Gmail inbox too wide – Perhaps opening Gmail, going to Settings, and changing your Density and Reading Pane options will do the trick.
