When drawing with standalone document class, the output image will automatically centered. for example, if I draw a circle with 5cm, then the image output will be 5cm. How can I keep 5cm circle in the center but output image size keep to 10cm?
I know the border=5cm option but I wish to use some command to define the picture dimension then I can always get the exact size, say 10cmx10cm.

What do you mean by picture dimension? Do you want the paper size? You can usegeometrypackage to control everything, paper size, margins, and so on.

I mean use fixed picture size to draw something on it.

So, you want to draw any picture on a page sized 10x10?

Add a bounding box to the tikzpicture. Then you can freely arrange objects therein.
documentclass[tikz]{standalone}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
useasboundingbox (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5);
filldraw (-5,-5) rectangle ++(1,1);
draw(0,0)circle(2.5);
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Add a 2.5 cm border on each side with the standalone option border=2.5cm, since 2.5cm+5cm+2.5 cm=10cm.
documentclass[tikz,border=2.5cm]{standalone}
begin{document}
tikzdraw(0,0)circle(2.5cm);
end{document}
