The Smart Resize Script by Bear Development Team can resize TextLabels, TextButtons, and TextBox’s TextBoxs not recommended text size to automatically fit the screen, just like the property TextScaled. But the differences between TextScaled and SmartResize are 1) SmartResize changes the TextSize property too, so you can find the text size even when it’s scaled and 2) Smart Resize can resize multiple text object to the same size!

Text Scaled:
Notice each of the text labels are different sizes, which looks weird
SmartResize:
Each one is the same size and fits, so it looks good (this isn’t a good example though)!
Setting Up
To set it up, put the local script inside of the GUI inside of Starter GUI. Then, open the script. You should see something like this:
--- CONFIGURATIONS ---
local GuiObjects = {script.Parent.TextLabel1, script.Parent.TextLabel2, script.Parent.TextLabel3}
local ResizeWithObject = true
local ResizeWithScreen = true
local ResizeWithText = true
local PrintResults = true
- GuiObjects: A list of all the GuiObjects that will be affected by that script (they will all be the same size at the end)
- ResizeWithObject: Whether the text should be resized every time the object is resized
- ResizeWithScreen: Whether the text should be resized every time the screen is resized
- ResizeWithText: Whether the text should be resized every time the text is changed
- PrintResults: Whether the results (text size) should be printed into the console (good for testing)
Know Problems/Errors
The only issue I know of is it takes a minute to resize because it has to resize each object:
Don’t worry! This will probably be fixed sometime in the near future!
Edit: whoops forgot the open-sourced part of it:
Code
LocalScript
--- CONFIGURATIONS ---
local GuiObjects = {script.Parent.TextLabel1, script.Parent.TextLabel2, script.Parent.TextLabel3}
local ResizeWithObject = true
local ResizeWithScreen = true
local ResizeWithText = true
local PrintResults = true
--[==[

The only allowed classes are:
- TextLabel
- TextButon
- TextBox

-- No editing needed here, but it's open-sourced so you can look through it!
local debounce = false
local event = script.ResizeText
local TextSizes
local currentSize
local TextBoxSize
local TextSize
local OldTextSize
local smallest
function adjustSize()
if debounce then return end
debounce = true
TextSizes = {}
for _, object in pairs(GuiObjects) do
object.TextSize = 1
currentSize = 101
TextBoxSize = object.AbsoluteSize
object.TextScaled = false
object.TextTruncate = Enum.TextTruncate.None
repeat
currentSize = currentSize - 1
event:FireServer(object, currentSize)
event.OnClientEvent:Wait()
if object.TextFits then
TextSizes[#TextSizes + 1] = currentSize
currentSize = "DONE"
end
if currentSize ~= "DONE" then
if currentSize < 1 then
warn("A FATAL ERROR OCCURED! " .. tostring(currentSize))
return
end
end
until currentSize == "DONE"
end
smallest = TextSizes[1]
for _, num in pairs(TextSizes) do
if num < smallest then
smallest = num
end
end
for _, object in pairs(GuiObjects) do
object.TextSize = smallest
end
if PrintResults then
print("Changed " .. #GuiObjects .. " TextSize to " .. smallest)
end
debounce = false
end
adjustSize()
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
for _, object in pairs(GuiObjects) do
if ResizeWithObject then
object:GetPropertyChangedSignal("AbsoluteSize"):Connect(adjustSize)
end
if ResizeWithText then
object:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(adjustSize)
end
end
if ResizeWithScreen then
camera:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ViewportSize"):Connect(adjustSize)
end
There is a remote event in between the local script and the server script named ‘ResizeText’
ServerScript
local event = script.Parent
function run(_, object, size)
object.TextSize = size
event:FireAllClients()
end
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(run)
