Use this interactive demo to learn how to make text taller and wider in Google Slides.

Quick summary

You can stretch text in Google Slides by selecting your text box, navigating to Format > Text > Size, and increasing the font size using the toolbar controls. This method lets you create bold, large-format typography for impactful slide designs without third-party tools.


Steps

  1. Click the text box that contains the text you want to stretch.
  2. Highlight the text inside the text box.
  3. In the top menu, click Format.
  4. Hover over Text from the dropdown menu.
  5. Click Size.
  6. Choose Increase font size.
  7. In the top menu, stretch the text by clicking the + button or typing in a larger number.
  8. Your text now has a stretched look in Google Slides.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to stretch text in Google Slides gives presenters precise control over typography and visual hierarchy, helping slides stand out with bold, large-format headlines. Google Slides does not offer a native text-stretch or scale tool, so using the Format > Text > Size workflow is the most reliable built-in method. Mastering this technique saves time and eliminates the need for external design tools when creating eye-catching presentations. It is especially valuable for marketers, educators, and designers who need professional-looking slides quickly.
