Frequently Asked Questions

What is an aspect ratio?

An aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between an image's width and height. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, such as 16:9 or 4:3. Maintaining the aspect ratio when resizing prevents distortion.

How is the new size calculated?

When you enter a new width, the new height is calculated as: new height = new width × (original height / original width). The same logic applies in reverse when you enter a new height.

What are common aspect ratios used for?

16:9 is the standard for HD video and most modern monitors. 4:3 is used for older TVs and some cameras. 1:1 is used for social media square posts. 21:9 is ultra-wide cinema format. 9:16 is vertical video for mobile and stories.
