By Impran M N
Tiny, unreadable text or oversized headings can throw off the visual hierarchy of an otherwise well-written page. This guide covers adjusting font sizes in Confluence, from the main typography dropdown to scaling text inside tables, so your documentation stays consistent and readable.
01Highlight the text block
Open your target documentation page, enter edit mode, and highlight the specific text you want to resize.
02Open the text style dropdown
Move to the upper editor toolbar and click the text style dropdown panel.
03Select a preset scale
Choose from pre-set layout scales to transform paragraphs into headings or adjust body text size.
04Use advanced sizing if needed
Open the advanced font sub-menu to apply exact point sizes or custom spacing for more precise control.
05Scale table text separately
Highlight data inside tables and use the mini pop-up editor to scale table content down if it's too large for the grid.
06Publish and check readability
Click the blue Publish button at the top right to save your typography changes live.
Frequently asked questions
Can I set an exact point size instead of using presets?
Yes, the advanced font sub-menu lets you apply exact point sizes or custom spacing beyond the standard preset scales.
Why does my table text look too big compared to the rest of the page?
Table text can be scaled independently using the mini pop-up editor that appears when you highlight content inside a table cell.
Will my font size changes look consistent on mobile?
Confluence's editor uses relative sizing to keep proportions consistent, but it's still worth checking your page on a mobile viewport before publishing.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for changing font size?
Yes, structural keyboard commands can step font levels up or down without needing to open the toolbar menu each time.
