How do I make subtitle appear larger or smaller with mpv ? The subtitles are in .srt format most of the times but sometimes also in the movie itself ?



Is there a way to do that ?



Also is there a default configuration variable that I could put so that subtitles play uniformly, using my own fonts and weights etc.

          The Manual has an entire section about subtitles.



          2 relevant options:





          • --sub-scale=<0-100> just scale them


          • --sub-ass-force-style=<[Style.]Param=Value[,...]> Force specific style.


          Add these to ~/.mpv/config by removing the leading double-dashees (--).



          All of that only works for non-image based subtitle formats



          Edit: @cipricus points out, that you can set shortcuts for increasing/decreasing subtitle size and position in the file ~/.config/mpv/input.conf

            You can also add shortcuts to ~/.config/mpv/input.conf to adjust the subtitles size as you want.



            # increase subtitle font size
            ALT+k add sub-scale +0.1

            # decrease subtitle font size
            ALT+j add sub-scale -0.1


            Note: if the config file doesn't exist, just create it in that location

            Inspired by the other answer - namely this: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-sub-scale, where what it says is:




            --sub-scale=<0-100> Factor for the text subtitle font size (default: 1).



            Note



            This affects ASS subtitles as well, and may lead to incorrect subtitle
            rendering. Use with care, or use --sub-font-size instead.




            Therefore, looking up --sub-font-size, we see this:




            --sub-font-size= Specify the sub font size.
            The unit is the size in scaled pixels at a window height of 720. The
            actual pixel size is scaled with the window height: if the window
            height is larger or smaller than 720, the actual size of the text
            increases or decreases as well. Default: 55.




            So - create the file config in a folder ~/.mpv with a line like



            sub-font-size=44


            to get 80% of the 55 default size.

                          Inspired by the other answer - namely this: https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options-sub-scale, where what it says is:




                          --sub-scale=<0-100> Factor for the text subtitle font size (default: 1).



                          Note



                          This affects ASS subtitles as well, and may lead to incorrect subtitle
                          rendering. Use with care, or use --sub-font-size instead.




                          Therefore, looking up --sub-font-size, we see this:




                          --sub-font-size= Specify the sub font size.
                          The unit is the size in scaled pixels at a window height of 720. The
                          actual pixel size is scaled with the window height: if the window
                          height is larger or smaller than 720, the actual size of the text
                          increases or decreases as well. Default: 55.




                          So - create the file config in a folder ~/.mpv with a line like



                          sub-font-size=44


                          to get 80% of the 55 default size.
