HTMLCanvasElement: height property
The HTMLCanvasElement.height property is a
positive integer reflecting the height HTML
attribute of the <canvas> element interpreted in CSS pixels. When the
attribute is not specified, or if it is set to an invalid value, like a negative, the
default value of 150 is used.
This is one of the two properties, the other being
HTMLCanvasElement.width, that controls the size of the canvas.
Value
A number.

html
<canvas id="canvas" width="300" height="300"></canvas>
You can get the height of the canvas with the following code:
js
const canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
console.log(canvas.height); // 300
