Sizing or size is any one of numerous specific substances that is applied to or incorporated in other material, especially papers and textiles, to act as a protecting filler or glaze.

Sizing is used in papermaking and textile manufacturing to change the absorption and wear characteristics of those materials ; it is used as a surface preparation for gilding ; and it is used by painters and artists to prepare paper and textile surfaces for some art techniques.

Sizing is used during paper manufacture to reduce the paper's tendency when dry to absorb liquid, with the goal of allowing inks and paints to remain on the surface of the paper and to dry there, rather than be absorbed into the paper.
