About This Feature
Overview
Paper Size is a page setup feature in WPS Writer for macOS that lets you adjust document page dimensions for common printing standards and custom layout needs.
Core capabilities include:
- Select a preset paper size: apply common sizes such as A4, A3, B5, and 16K.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | WPS Writer lets you choose preset paper sizes from the Page tab and use More Page Sizes to enter custom width and height values. | Word provides the PaperSize property for preset paper sizes, and changing PageWidth or PageHeight switches the setting to a custom paper size. | The Google Docs product page highlights online document creation and collaboration, but it does not directly describe a desktop-style custom paper size workflow on the product page. | Notion lets you choose Page format when exporting a page or database as PDF, so paper size is mainly handled during export. | Acrobat on Mac can scale PDF pages to a specified size through Preflight, which is designed for adjusting existing PDF pages. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can set preset and custom paper sizes during document editing. Distinct: The entry is part of the page setup workflow, which is convenient before layout finalization and printing. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page here focuses on object properties and page setup behavior rather than a direct end-user editing workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google's official product page emphasizes collaboration and online editing, with less direct detail about paper size controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion handles paper size mainly at PDF export time instead of in the main document editing layout workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on resizing finished PDF pages than setting page size before writing and layout in a word processor. |
| Official Source | — | Word PaperSize property | Google Docs product page | Notion export your content | Adobe change PDF page size on Mac |
Overall Conclusion: If you want to decide page dimensions while editing a document, WPS keeps paper size controls closer to the writing and layout workflow. Other products also support page-size-related handling, but their official guidance is more centered on collaboration, export, or finished PDF adjustment.
