The labelling of openstreetmap is hardly readable in QGIS. It has nothing to do with the zoom level. How can I change it to a readable layout? enter image description here

OSM Tiles are static png images. Qgis is rescaling them to achieve scale you've set. To get sharp images you have to match scale in qgis with a scale of tiles or render map locally using for example shapefiles from geofabrik. If you're using quickMapService plugin there is a function called "Set proper scale"

And following AndreJ's comment - you have to set project's SRS (CRS) to EPSG:3857

    ... and set the project CRS to EPSG:3857 if possible.

  • Thanks @AndreJ - obvious, but maybe not so obvious for OP
