Aspect Ratio Calculator

Enter any width and height and get the simplified aspect ratio (1920×1080 becomes 16:9), the decimal form, and a proportional resize calculator: give a new width and the matching height is worked out for you. Handy before cropping, embedding video, or briefing a designer.

The maths: DPI = pixels ÷ inches. A pixel count alone is never 300 DPI — DPI only exists once a physical print size is chosen. Screens, by contrast, just use pixels.

How to aspect Ratio Calculator

  1. Enter width and height.
  2. Read the simplified ratio.
  3. Optionally type a new width to get the matching height.

Frequently asked questions

What are the common ratios?

16:9 (video, YouTube), 4:5 (Instagram portrait), 1:1 (square posts), 3:2 (classic photo), 4:3 (older screens, iPad), 21:9 (ultrawide), 9:16 (Stories, Reels, TikTok).

Why does my ratio show huge numbers?

Some dimensions share no common divisor (e.g. 1000×563 is already simplest). The decimal form is then the practical one to use.
