Learn how to change cursor size in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge with Helperbird for better visibility Support for all learners and educators. Learn how to make your mouse cursor larger using Helperbird. A bigger cursor is easier to see and track on the screen.

What is Cursor Size?

The Cursor Size feature lets you make your mouse pointer larger than normal. A bigger cursor is easier to spot and follow as you move it around the screen.

This replaces the small default cursor with a larger, more visible version.


Who is This For?

This feature is helpful for:

  • People with low vision who have trouble seeing the standard cursor
  • Anyone who loses track of their cursor on the screen
  • People using high-resolution displays where cursors appear small
  • Anyone with motor difficulties who needs a larger target
  • People who find the default cursor too small

Step 1: Open Helperbird

Click the Helperbird icon in your browser toolbar. It looks like a small owl and is usually in the top-right corner of your browser.

This will open the Helperbird menu.


Step 2: Open the All Features Section

Scroll down to the bottom of the Helperbird menu. You will see a section called All Features.

Click the arrow next to All Features to expand it and show all available features.


Step 3: Find Display Options

Look through the list of features until you see Display options.


Step 4: Open Display Options

Click on Display options to open it.

A panel will appear showing various display settings you can adjust.


Step 5: Turn on Cursor Size

In the Display options panel, look for Cursor size.

Click the toggle switch next to it to turn it on. The toggle will turn green when it is enabled.


Step 6: Adjust the Size

Once Cursor size is turned on, a slider will appear below the toggle.

Drag the slider to the right to make the cursor larger. Drag it to the left to make it smaller.

A label will show you the current size setting (Small, Medium, Large, etc.).

The change happens immediately so you can see the new cursor size right away.

Tip: If you have a high-resolution display, you may want to use a larger cursor size. The default cursor can look very tiny on 4K monitors.

My son has dyslexia and has been struggling with parts of distant learning over the last year. We recently discovered this software and he is loving everything about it, especially with the ease of following directions and completing his assignments! We have used several other tools but this has everything a dyslexia person needs all in one bundle! The upgrade is definitely worth it to make our daily struggles, on the computer, run much smoother. I also greatly appreciate customer support (helpdesk). They went above and beyond to make sure we were all set up on the computer for my son to most successful.

Amazing Extensions in chrome. I Installed in my parents computer, because my dad have a poor vision, due to bad eye surgery. this extension really helps to have able to manipulate the font and font size for more comfortable use instead of chrome zoom feature. Because the chrome zoom feature is its overly zoom will cause the page looking super weird.
