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.
