How to turn off Magnifier on iMac

Selected text on desktop and in apps magnifies to about six times the font size. How do I turn it off?


Can't find anything on this feature. All text that is clicked on in Desktop and in apps get magnified.


iMac 27″, macOS 11.7

Thanks for the quick reply. This one really had me going. Could find nothing on Google and even here in the User's Community. I talked with my son and he suggested checking the Magnifier. I found it and had it fixed before I saw your reply. This is exactly what my problem was. I somehow l had turned on the Magnifier and all text was being magnified. Very confusing.
