Work out the aspect ratio of any width and height, resize a picture or video while locking its ratio, or pick a preset like 16:9, 4:3 or 21:9. Also solves any proportion A:B = C:D and simplifies ratios — with decimals, megapixels and orientation. Free and instant.

Set a width and height (or pick a preset), then enter a new size — leave one pixel field blank and we lock it to the same ratio.

Pixel size is locked to the chosen width-to-height ratio: leave one field blank and we solve it. Megapixels are width × height ÷ 1,000,000.

About Aspect Ratio Calculator

This aspect ratio calculator does three related jobs. In aspect mode, it finds the ratio of any width and height and resizes images or video frames while keeping that ratio locked — pick a preset like 16:9, 4:3 or 21:9, enter one new dimension and it solves the other. It also reports the decimal ratio, megapixels, orientation and scale factor.

The other two modes handle general ratio math: solve any proportion A:B = C:D by cross-multiplication (fill three values, leave one blank), or simplify a ratio to its lowest terms using the greatest common divisor.

It is a staple for resizing photos without distortion, sizing video embeds and thumbnails, scaling recipes or plans, and checking print and screen dimensions — free and instant.

How to use Aspect Ratio Calculator

  1. Pick a mode: aspect ratio, solve proportion, or simplify ratio.
  2. In aspect mode, set the width and height or choose a common preset such as 16:9.
  3. Enter your new pixel size, leaving one field blank — the tool locks it to the same ratio.
  4. For proportions, fill three of the four values; the solver finds the missing one.
  5. Read the simplified ratio, decimal value, resolved size, megapixels and orientation.

Frequently asked questions

Use aspect mode: enter the original width and height, then type the new width and leave the height blank. The calculator computes the matching height so the picture keeps its exact proportions.

For every 16 units of width there are 9 of height — the standard shape of HD video and most monitors. 1920×1080 and 1280×720 are both 16:9 at different pixel sizes.

It cross-multiplies: in A:B = C:D, the products A×D and B×C are equal, so any missing value can be isolated. Fill three fields, leave the unknown blank, and it is solved instantly.

Both sides are divided by their greatest common divisor. For example, 1920:1080 has a GCD of 120, which reduces it to 16:9 — the cleanest whole-number form of the same relationship.

Megapixels are width × height ÷ 1,000,000 — the total pixel count of an image. They are handy for comparing camera resolutions and estimating file sizes when you resize.
