pocket size

Small and portable

Pocket size describes something small enough to fit in a pocket—compact and portable: a pocket-size dictionary, pocket-size tissues.

The term often appears hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun.

Figuratively, it can suggest a miniature or scaled-down version of something larger: a pocket-size country, a pocket-size budget.
