Aspect ratio describes how wide a frame is compared with its height

Images, videos, thumbnails, and screens look right when the ratio is preserved. This calculator finds the simplified ratio from width and height, or calculates a missing dimension from a target ratio.

Core formulas

Simplify ratio

Divide width:height by the greatest common divisor.

Find height

height = width × ratioHeight / ratioWidth

Find width

width = height × ratioWidth / ratioHeight

How to use

  1. Enter the original width and height in pixels to identify the current ratio.
  2. Choose a preset such as 16:9, 4:3, or 1:1, or enter a custom ratio.
  3. Lock one dimension and use the calculated other dimension for your design or export.

Frequently asked questions

Where is 16:9 commonly used?

It is the standard wide format for YouTube videos, many monitors, slides, and streaming layouts.

What should I do with decimal pixel results?

Pixels must be whole numbers, so round to the nearest integer unless a platform gives an exact recommended size.

Why does changing the ratio stretch my image?

Changing width and height independently breaks the original ratio. Calculate the dependent dimension to avoid distortion.
