How to maximize the browser window in Selenium WebDriver

In this post, we will discuss How to maximize the browser window in Selenium WebDriver. When we launch a browser using Selenium WebDriver, by default it is not in its maximized state. Here, we will see how to maximize a browser using automation script.

NOTE : It is a good practice to maximize a browser after launch.

Code Snippet to maximize the browser window :

//Maximize the Browser
driver.manage().window().maximize();

Maxmize a browser

Lets see the complete example to set the browser in maximize mode just after launch.

SeleniumDemo.java

package demoPackage;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class SeleniumDemo {

 public static WebDriver driver;
 
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  
  System.out.println("Launching the chrome driver  ");
  
  // Set the chrome driver exe file path
  System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","E:\\selenium_sumit\\chromedriver_win32_2.33\\chromedriver.exe");
  
  // Instantiate the chrome driver
  driver = new ChromeDriver();
  
  // set the browser URL in get() to load the webpage
  driver.get("https://www.google.com");
     
  //Maximize the Browser
  driver.manage().window().maximize();

 }

}
