How to Change Slide Size in Google Slides

If you don’t like the current size of your slides in your Google Slides presentation, don’t hesitate to change it. Just follow this guide and your slides will be in the right size in no time.

How to Change Slide Size in Google Slides

• Step 1: Start a Blank Presentation or Open a Saved Presentation

  

  Using Chrome, Firefox, or any web browser you want, access Google Slides on docs.google.com/presentation. This will directly bring you to the Google Slides home page. Once you’re in, create a Google Slides presentation or open a saved presentation stored in Google Drive.

• Step 2: Click File and Go to Page Setup

  

  Once you’ve started or opened a presentation, head on to the menu bar and click File. A menu will appear on your screen listing multiple commands and options. What you must do is click on Page Setup. You can find it next to the Language option. See the image above for reference.

• Step 3: Change Dimensions to Adjust Aspect Ratio

  

  Once you’ve clicked Page Setup, a menu box like in the image above will pop up on your screen. It’ll give you preset options to resize Google Slides presentations. There’s Standard 4:3, Widescreen 16:9, and Widescreen 16:10. Choose the measurements that you think are best for your presentation. Click Apply after you’ve chosen any of the three options.

• Step 4: Set a Custom Size

  

  If none of the preset measurements are to your liking, you can set a custom size for your slides. Simply click Custom and the Page Setup box will look like the image above. Type in manually the width and height measurements you want. You can use inches, centimeters, points, and pixels as units of measurement. Once you’re done, simply click Apply and the adjustments will immediately take effect. You can also make your Google Slides vertical and landscape.

• Step 5: For iPhone and Android, Open Your Presentation on Google Slides Desktop Version

  

  For iPhone and Android users, there’s no option to resize your slides if you’re using Google Slides on mobile, unfortunately. The only option you have is to open your presentation on the Google Slides desktop version. Simply follow the steps we’ve discussed earlier. Apply changes and you’ll see the results the next time you open your presentation on the Google Slide mobile app or on any other app for creating presentations.
