Zooming out in Adobe Illustrator allows you to see more of your artwork on the screen, which can be helpful when you’re working on large or complex projects. There are several different ways to zoom out in Illustrator, including using the Zoom tool, the keyboard shortcuts, or the menu bar.
The Zoom tool is located in the Tools panel. To use it, simply click on the tool and then click on the area of the artwork that you want to zoom out on. You can also use the keyboard shortcuts to zoom out. To zoom out by 25%, press Command + – (Mac) or Ctrl + – (Windows). To zoom out by 50%, press Command + Option + – (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + – (Windows). To zoom out by 100%, press Command + Option + 0 (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + 0 (Windows).
