High DPI

Last published : Oct 16, 2026
The Citrix VDA for macOS supports High DPI with automatic DPI scaling. When you open a virtual desktop session, the DPI scale value in the session automatically changes to match the DPI setting on the client side.
The following are some considerations related to this feature:
  • The feature requires that you enable High DPI for Citrix Workspace™.
    • In Citrix Workspace App for Windows, it"™s enabled by default. For more information about configuring High DPI for Citrix Workspace App for Windows, see DPI scaling.
    • By default, High DPI is not enabled in Citrix Workspace App for Mac. See the guide for instructions on how to enable it.
    • In Citrix Workspace App for Linux, High DPI is not enabled by default. Please refer to the guide for instructions on how to enable it.
  • For the feature to work in multi-monitor scenarios, each monitor must be configured with the same DPI setting.
    Note :
    Automatic DPI scaling does not support multi-monitors with different DPI settings.
  • The DPI value in the virtual session automatically changes according to the DPI setting on the client side.

Limitation

  • Currently, the High DPI feature supports scale factors of 1 and 2 in the client. For Example: 100% and 200%.
  • Each monitor in the client must have a minimum resolution of 2560x1440; otherwise, High DPI will not work.
