16:9

What is Aspect Ratio?

An aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between the width and height of a display or image. For example, 16:9 means the width is about 1.78 times the height, and is the standard for most monitors and TVs. 4:3 is common in older monitors and iPads, while 1:1 (square) is popular for social media posts.

Calculation Examples

Ratio of 1920x1080: GCD(1920, 1080) = 120 → 1920/120 : 1080/120 = 16:9 Ratio of 2560x1440: GCD(2560, 1440) = 160 → 2560/160 : 1440/160 = 16:9 Height for 4:3 ratio with width 1024px: 1024 × (3/4) = 768px

FAQ

What is the most common aspect ratio?
16:9 is the most common aspect ratio, used by most monitors, TVs, and smartphones. Other popular ratios include 4:3 (classic TV), 21:9 (ultrawide), and 1:1 (social media).
How do you calculate an aspect ratio?
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of the width and height, then divide both by the GCD. For example: 1920x1080 → GCD is 120 → 16:9.
How do I find dimensions from a ratio?
If you know one dimension and the ratio, calculate the other. For example: 16:9 ratio with width 1280 → height = 1280 × (9/16) = 720.
