Does a magnifier make the red dot bigger?

Can you zero red dot with magnifier?

To zero a magnifier, zero the red dot first and take note of where the dot appears on the optic. Take more shots, but only adjust the magnifier, not the red dot. Once both pieces are zeroed, you’ll be placing accurate shots on target in no time. Zero the dot first, then the magnifier.

This makes them much less susceptible to parallax distortion. Most operators prefer holographic sights for exactly this reason.
