Why does capacitance depend on medium?

Capacitance does not depend on charge or the potential difference due to it fundamentally being a constant which we have defined. I only have trouble understanding why does it then change if we change dimensions daysay of a parallel plate capacitor or if we change the medium between the two plates?
