Use this interactive demo to learn how to resize slides in PowerPoint using Page Setup.

Quick summary

To increase the slide size in PowerPoint, open the Design tab, navigate to Slide Size, and enter custom Width and Height values in Page Setup. After clicking OK and choosing Scale, PowerPoint applies your new dimensions to the entire presentation.


Steps

  1. Inside the slide canvas of your PowerPoint presentation, head to the top menu bar and click the Design tab.
  2. Click Slide Size in the ribbon to open sizing options.
  3. Click Page Setup to proceed to the custom size dialog.
  4. Under the Size section, increase the default Width and Height values using the spin buttons or by typing a specific measurement into the fields.
  5. Click OK to apply the new slide dimensions.
  6. Choose Scale to automatically reformat existing content to fit the new slide size.
  7. Your PowerPoint slide size is now increased based on your configuration.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to increase the slide size in PowerPoint gives presenters full control over their layout dimensions, making it easier to design for large-format displays, custom print sizes, or non-standard screen ratios. The Page Setup dialog in PowerPoint's Design tab lets users set precise Width and Height values, ensuring every element scales correctly to the new canvas. This is especially valuable for marketing teams, educators, and designers who need pixel-perfect slide dimensions beyond the default widescreen format. Getting slide sizing right from the start prevents content distortion and saves time reformatting existing presentations.
