Aspect Ratio Calculator

Calculate the simplified ratio of width to height and find matching new dimensions without distorting the original aspect ratio.

Aspect ratio

Positive whole numbers up to 10,000,000.

Resize without distortion

Calculate the other dimension while keeping the original aspect ratio.

Rounding to whole pixels can cause a very small deviation.

What this tool does

An aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between width and height.

Different image, video, screen, or slide dimensions can share the same aspect ratio.

How to use the tool

  1. Enter width and height as positive whole numbers in the same unit, such as pixels.
  2. Calculate the simplified ratio, orientation, and decimal value.
  3. Enter a new width or height in the resize section to determine the matching other dimension.

Useful applications

  • Check formats for images, videos, monitors, presentations, and social media assets.
  • Calculate matching dimensions for thumbnails, embeds, and responsive layouts.
  • Change one dimension without stretching or squashing the content.

Notes and limitations

  • An aspect ratio has no unit; width and height only need to use the same unit.
  • The rounded pixel result can differ slightly from the exact decimal value.
  • The preview represents the shape of the ratio, not the actual physical or pixel size.

Frequently asked questions

Why do 1920 × 1080 and 1280 × 720 both equal 16:9?

Each pair can be divided by its greatest common divisor to obtain 16:9. The sizes differ, but the proportion is identical.
