What is aspect ratio?

Aspect ratio is the ratio of an image's width to its height. A 1920×1080 video is 16:9, a classic photo 3:2, an Instagram portrait post 4:5 and a phone story 9:16.

Two ways to use it

  • Enter width and height to see the simplified ratio and the nearest standard ratio
  • Enter a ratio and one dimension to calculate the other (e.g. 720 height for 1280 width at 16:9)
