# Sizing

You can easily set the initial height of the TextArea component as well as setting an auto size option as the user types.

## Setting the Initial Rows

To set initial rows of the TextArea, use its [`rows`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/inputs/api/textareaprops#rows) property.

## Auto-Resizing

To automatically adjust the height of the TextArea as the user types, set its [`autoSize`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/components/inputs/api/textareaprops#autoSize) property to `true`.
