What is an aspect ratio?

An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height, expressed as two numbers like 16:9. It describes the shape of an image, video, or screen.

What are common aspect ratios?

16:9 (widescreen video and monitors), 4:3 (old TV and presentations), 1:1 (square, Instagram), 9:16 (vertical video), 21:9 (ultrawide), and 3:2 (DSLR photos).

How does the scaling work?

Enter a new width and the tool calculates the height that keeps the same aspect ratio, or enter a new height and the tool calculates the width.

What are the preset buttons?

Quick-select buttons for common ratios like 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, and more. Click one to fill in that ratio instantly.

Can I use any unit?

Yes. The aspect ratio is a proportion, so it works regardless of whether your dimensions are in pixels, inches, centimeters, or any other unit.

How is the ratio simplified?

The tool finds the greatest common divisor of your width and height and divides both by it to get the simplest ratio.

Does it update instantly?

Yes. All results recalculate as soon as you change any input.

Can I copy the ratio?

Yes. Click the copy button next to the calculated ratio to put it on your clipboard.
