Step 3: Adjust Aspect Ratio
The Page Setup box provides three preset aspect ratio options: Standard 4:3, Widescreen 16:9, and Widescreen 16:10. You’ll likely find Widescreen 16:9 as the default aspect ratio, which is designed for a presentation to look great on widescreen monitors. However, it’s up to you which of the three preset aspect ratio options to choose. Simply click on your preferred option and click Apply to make the change take effect.

Step 4: Click Custom to Set a Custom Slide Size
If none of the three preset aspect ratios are to your liking, don’t worry. You can set a custom slide size by choosing Custom. Once you click Custom, the Page Setup menu will look like the picture above. You can set any measurements to the height and width of your slides. The left box is for the width measurement and the right box is for the height measurement. You can also change the unit of measure from inches to centimeters, points, and pixels. The Custom option lets you set up Google Slides the right size based on your personal preference.
Once you’re done customizing the aspect ratio, simply click Apply. The changes you’ve made will take effect instantly. Don’t hesitate to make certain adjustments again if your slides look awkward. You can make your Google Slides vertical and landscape and vice versa.
Can I make the size of my slides A3?
Yes, you can change the size of your slides in Google Slides to A3. It’s easy! Go to Page Setup under File, select Custom, and set the width to 11.7 inches and the height to 16.5 inches. Once you’ve done that, click Apply and the adjustments will take effect right away. Your slides will then be standard A3 in size.
