Use this interactive demo to learn how to set a custom paper size when printing Google Slides.

Quick summary

This demo shows how to change the paper size when printing Google Slides by accessing the More settings panel in the browser print dialog. In just four steps, you can select any standard paper format before sending your presentation to the printer.

Steps

Click Print (Ctrl + P) to open the print dialog.
On the left panel, click More settings to expand advanced print options.
Click the drop-down box under Paper Size to view available formats.
Choose the paper size you want to use for printing the slides.

📌 Why this matters

Choosing the right paper size before printing Google Slides prevents misaligned layouts and wasted paper. Google Slides does not expose paper size directly in its own UI, so knowing how to access the browser's More settings panel is essential for anyone printing presentations professionally. This workflow is particularly valuable for educators, marketers, and business users who print slide decks in non-standard formats such as A4 or legal. Mastering this setting ensures every printed slide looks exactly as intended, regardless of printer defaults.
