How to calculate aspect ratio

  3. Use the result. Read the matching dimension and the simplified ratio.

About aspect ratios

An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between width and height. Keeping it constant when you resize prevents stretching or letterboxing — essential for video exports, responsive images, thumbnails and print. Lock your source dimensions, change one side, and this calculator gives the other instantly, plus the lowest-terms ratio so you can confirm you are matching a standard like 16:9 or 4:3.

Frequently asked questions

How does the aspect-ratio calculator work?
Enter your original width and height to set the ratio, then change either the new width or new height — the tool fills in the other dimension so the proportions stay identical.
What is the simplified ratio?
It reduces your width:height to lowest terms using the greatest common divisor — for example 1920×1080 simplifies to 16:9.
What are common aspect ratios?
16:9 (HD video and most screens), 4:3 (legacy displays), 1:1 (square / social posts), 21:9 (ultrawide), 3:2 (photography) and 9:16 (vertical / stories).
Can it handle decimals?
Yes — dimensions can be fractional, and results are rounded to two decimals where needed.
