To make all rows in your Google Sheet the same height, the most straightforward method involves selecting all rows and then resizing one of them, which automatically applies the same height to the entire selection.
Here's a step-by-step guide based on common Google Sheets functionality:
Easy Steps to Equalize Row Height
Making all rows consistent in height improves readability and the overall appearance of your spreadsheet. Follow these simple steps:
-
Select Everything: You need to select all the rows in your sheet. The easiest way to do this is to click the Select All button. This button is located in the top-left corner of your sheet, just below the formula bar and to the left of column header 'A'. Clicking this button selects every cell, and importantly, every row and column in your spreadsheet.
- Tip: Selecting all rows ensures that any resizing action you perform on one row will be applied uniformly to all others.
-
Hover Over a Row Border: Once all rows are selected, hover your mouse cursor over the line that separates any two row headers (e.g., between row 1 and row 2, or row 5 and row 6) in the gray header area on the left side of the sheet. Your cursor will change to a double-headed arrow.
-
Click and Drag: With the double-headed arrow cursor, click and drag the border downwards or upwards to adjust the height of the row. As you drag, you will see the row height changing. Because all rows are selected, this action will simultaneously resize all rows in your sheet to the exact same height you are setting for the one row border you are dragging.
- Drag down to increase the height.
- Drag up to decrease the height.
Releasing the mouse button will set the new, uniform height for all rows.

Why This Method Works
When you select multiple rows (or all rows) and then manually adjust the height of one of the selected rows by dragging its border, Google Sheets applies that same height to all rows that were part of your selection. This is a quick way to ensure visual consistency across your entire sheet.
