Calculate aspect ratios and scale dimensions easily. A handy designer utility that works entirely client-side in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Enter your current width and height, or pick a common ratio.
  2. Read the simplified ratio, its decimal value and the orientation.
  3. Enter a new width or height and the other side is calculated for you.

Frequently asked questions

How is the ratio simplified?

By dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor. That is how 1920 by 1080 becomes 16:9.

Which ratio should I use for video?

16:9 for almost everything on a landscape screen, 9:16 for phone-first vertical video, and 1:1 for square feeds.

Why does my image look stretched?

Because the new width and height do not share the original ratio. Set one side and let the calculator work out the other instead of typing both.
