Notion Page Width: How To Set Full Width As Default & More (Quick Tutorial)

Notion Pages
January 1, 2024

While Notion pages don't give you 100% flexibility in their design, they are incredibly flexible; if you know where to look and how to work with them.

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to set a Notion page to full width--along with a workaround that will lets you create full-width Notion pages by default, in just a single click.

How To Set Full Width Pages In Notion

Step 1: Open the Page Settings

To get started, open the Notion page that you want to set to full width. Once the page is open, click on the three dots menu button in the top right corner of the page.

This will open the "Page Settings" menu, which allows you to customize various aspects of your page, including its appearance, layout, and more.

Step 2: Toggle on 'Full Width'

From the page menu, simply toggle on the 'full width' option and your page will stretch to fit the screen.

How To Set Full Width Pages As Default In A Database

In order to get your Notion pages to be full width by default, we'll need to create a database and set a default template within that database.

Now, while that may sound like a lot of work, it really isn't so hard. All you need to do is:

  1. Create an inline database with '/database';
  2. Hit 'create a template';
  3. Follow the exact same steps as above to set your template page to 'full width';
  4. Name the template however you like, then exit out of the template editing mode;
  5. Hit the blue 'New' menu in your database menu then set the template you just created as 'default';
  6. Create a new item in your database and voila! It will be a full width page;
  7. Bonus: you can also set the view to 'open full page' by default so that when you open those pages, they'll take you directly to your new full page.
