You can create slideshows and presentations with Google Slides, which makes it an excellent, free alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint. There is a default size for the slides, but depending on your presentation, you might want to alter it.
Both the manual and preset methods for adjusting the size of individual slides in Google Slides in a browser will be outlined in this article. However, you can’t change the slide size from the mobile apps, including Android and iOS.
How to Change Slide Size in Google Slides

5. Click File.

Why Change the Slide Size on Google Slides Needed?
Not everyone who uses Google Slides will need to change the size of their slides. Google Slides is set to a common size by default, but there are a few important reasons why this can be useful.
1. Different screens. There are different aspect ratios for different monitors, so it’s helpful to learn how to work with them. The Widescreen is 16:9, and your presentations will look better if they fit on the screen in that way.
2. Flexibility. Not sure which screen your presentation will be on? Choose 16:9. Before, 4:3 was the norm, but now more screens are widescreen. But if you know it will be seen on a smartphone, stick with 4:3.
3. Printout. Do you want to get copies of your slides? In this case, a ratio of 4:3 works best.
