H1_Aspect Ratio Calculator - 16:9, 4:3 & More | MultiTool

DESC

ASPECT RATIO16:91.78:1

How it works

Enter any width and height and the tool simplifies them to the classic aspect ratio (like 16:9) using the greatest common divisor. You can also pick a target ratio and one known side to find the missing dimension β€” perfect for resizing videos, images or screens without distortion.

Aspect ratios you meet every day

Aspect ratio is shape expressed as numbers β€” width Γ· height. Once you see them, they are everywhere:

  • 16:9 β€” the universal video standard (YouTube, TVs, monitors). From 1920Γ—1080 to 3840Γ—2160, same shape.
  • 9:16 β€” the vertical revolution (Stories, Reels, TikTok). The exact inverse of TV.
  • 4:5 and 1:1 β€” feed posts; portraits perform best on reach, squares survive everywhere.
  • 3:2 and 4:3 β€” classic photography (35mm film was 3:2) and tablets/older screens.
  • 21:9 (β€œultrawide”) β€” cinematic monitors; movies themselves use even wider anamorphic ratios.

The calculator's daily job: scaling without distortion. To fit 16:9 content into a 4:5 slot, you compute the matching height (or width) and crop the overflow β€” that is what every smart thumbnail does. For the full table of exact pixel sizes per platform, see our social media sizes guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate an aspect ratio?+

Divide both width and height by their greatest common divisor. For example, 1920 divided by 120 is 16 and 1080 divided by 120 is 9, giving 16:9.

What does 16:9 mean?+

It means that for every 16 units of width there are 9 units of height. It is the standard for HD and Full HD video.

What is the aspect ratio of 1920x1080?+

1920x1080 simplifies to 16:9, the most common widescreen format.

How do I resize without distortion?+

Keep the same ratio: if your target is 16:9 and you know the width, the height is width times 9 divided by 16.

Does it work for vertical video?+

Yes β€” 9:16 is included as a preset, ideal for reels, shorts and stories.

Is it free?+

Yes, completely free with no account.
