Enlarge Arabic

# [Enlarge Arabic] Chrome extension

Arabic text on multilingual web pages is often too small to read comfortably. At the same font size, Arabic glyphs appear noticeably smaller than Latin, Hebrew, or Chinese characters — a well-known typographic problem that makes browsing Wikipedia, news sites, social media, and academic pages containing Arabic text unnecessarily difficult.

**[Enlarge Arabic]** fixes this with one click. It selectively increases the size of Arabic text on any web page while leaving all other scripts untouched. English, Hebrew, Chinese, or any other text sharing the same paragraph stays exactly as it is — only Arabic gets enlarged.

Useful for: Anyone who reads multilingual content with Arabic — students of Arabic, researchers in Middle Eastern studies, native speakers reading websites with small default fonts, or anyone browsing Wikipedia, news sites, or academic pages where Arabic appears alongside other scripts.

**How to use**

Click the extension icon to enable Arabic enlargement on the current website. The icon turns teal when active. The setting is remembered per website — enable it once on a site, and it stays active on every visit until you turn it off.

**Customizable settings**

- Adjust the font size and line height for Arabic text globally (via the Options page) or per website (via the Chrome sidebar panel)
- See your changes instantly with a live preview
- Save different settings for different websites — what works for Wikipedia may not be ideal for X (Twitter), Facebook, or your local news site.

**Works everywhere**

- Handles dynamically loaded content (infinite scroll, live feeds, single-page apps)
- Preserves Arabic cursive script joining — letters connect naturally, exactly as they should
- Adapts to your browser's light or dark theme automatically

**Respects your privacy**

No data collection. No analytics. No network requests. All settings are stored locally on your device and never leave your browser.

About permissions: Chrome shows that this extension requests permission to "read and change data on websites you visit." This is required because the extension needs to find Arabic text on any page you open and adjust its size. The extension doesn't collect, transmit, or store data about the pages you visit—its sole purpose is to make Arabic text easier to read. The full source code is available on GitHub for verification.
