To change a row’s height or a column’s width in Google Sheets, select its row number or column letter, open the context menu, choose Resize row or Resize column, and enter a size or select Fit to data. You can also drag the boundary between headers for a visual adjustment; on a computer, double-click the boundary to fit to data.

Choose how to resize

Method Best for How it works
Custom size Giving one or more rows or columns a consistent dimension Enter a height or width in the resize dialog.
Fit to data Using the built-in content-fitting option Select Fit to data in the resize dialog. The option fits the dimension to its contents; it does not promise a particular numerical size.
Drag Making a quick visual adjustment Drag the boundary between row numbers or column letters. On a computer, double-click the boundary to fit to data.

Change row height or column width on a computer

  1. Select the row number to change height, or the column letter to change width. To resize several at once, select their row numbers or column letters.
  2. Right-click one of the selected headers and choose Resize row or Resize column.
  3. Enter the custom height or width, or choose Fit to data.
  4. Confirm the change.

For a visual adjustment instead, drag the boundary between row numbers to change row height, or between column letters to change column width. Double-click the relevant boundary to fit to data.

These controls apply to whole rows and columns, not to an individual cell: rows determine height, while columns determine width. Google’s computer instructions are in Add or move columns and cells — Computer.
