In this study, we systematically investigated the magnetic properties of NiPX<sub>3</sub> monolayers by employing first-principles calculations, exploring the modulation of magnetic behaviour under internal (element substitution) and external strains (biaxial/uniaxial strain). Our results demonstrate that both magnetic anisotropy and the magneto-optical Schäfer-Hubert (SH) effect are strongly influenced by strain. Specifically, strain can induce a flip of the magnetic easy axis from in-plane to out-of-plane and significantly enhance the magneto-optical SH effect. For instance, under −6 % biaxial compressive strain, the SH rotation angle peak of the NiPSe<sub>3</sub> monolayer increases from −0.62° in NiPS<sub>3</sub> to −1.71°. The distortion of the trigonal anti-prismatic crystal field and the breaking of the three-fold rotational symmetry are identified as the key physical mechanisms responsible for the strain-induced tuning of magnetic anisotropy and the magneto-optical SH effect.
