How It Works

Enter width and height to calculate the aspect ratio, or input a ratio with one dimension to find the missing one. The tool displays results in standard notation (16:9), decimal, and common names like Widescreen or Square. A visual preview updates live as you type.

When to Use It

  • Resizing images or videos for platforms requiring specific ratios (Instagram 1:1, YouTube 16:9, TikTok 9:16).
  • Designing responsive layouts where elements must maintain proportions across screen sizes.
  • Calculating display dimensions when you know the diagonal size.

Frequently Asked Questions
