Aspect Ratio Calc

Simplify any aspect ratio to its lowest terms, identify common ratios like 16:9, and calculate a missing width or height from a known ratio. Essential for video, design and print.

Simplifying ratios

An aspect ratio is simplified by dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor, so 1920x1080 becomes 16:9. The tool also names common ratios, shows the decimal form designers use in CSS, and renders a true-proportion preview box so you can see the shape at a glance.

Finding a missing side

Enter any ratio plus one known dimension to compute the other: a 16:9 video that is 1280 wide must be 720 tall. This is the fastest way to size thumbnails, embeds and exports without distorting your content.

Aspect Ratio Calc FAQs

What is the aspect ratio of 1920x1080?
16:9, the standard widescreen ratio for YouTube, TVs and most monitors.
What ratio should I use for Instagram Reels?
9:16 vertical. For square feed posts use 1:1, and for portrait posts 4:5 gives the most screen space.
How do I keep a video from stretching?
Keep the width-to-height proportion identical when resizing. Compute the missing side with this tool instead of guessing.
What does 21:9 mean?
An ultrawide ratio where the width is 21 units for every 9 of height, common on cinematic monitors. Movies often use even wider ratios like 2.39:1.
Can I enter decimal ratios?
Yes. Values like 1.91:1 work in the missing-dimension calculator, and the simplifier rounds sensibly.
