How To Change Artboard Size In Illustrator
When you open the software, you will have a blank grey screen. At this point, you have no working space and you need to create a new artboard as you start your project. You can set the size by going to File>New> or Ctrl+N on Pc and CMD + N on Mac.
A pop-up window will appear that will prompt you to input the number of artboards or workspaces you want, size, and units of measurement such as millimeters, centimeters, Picas, etc. There is also an option to choose the color modes you want, whether RGB or CMYK, plus the resolution you want.
The orientation helps with landscape and portrait artboards and you can switch as you want. The bleed area is a small area outside the artboard that helps avoid a white line forming when printed work is trimmed. For colors at the edge, you can set them to go a little like 3mm beyond the artboard
If you have opened a file that already has an artboard, go to Window> Artboards, then from the Artboards panel, click the icon on the far end to bring out the Artboard options menu. You can then set the size from here.
You will however not be able to set the units of measurement on this option, only the size, and orientation. To change the dimension units, click CTRL + R or CMD + R on Mac, a ruler will pop up on the edges, right click on it and set your desired units eg inches or millimeters.
