What this tool helps you find

Enter the original width and height. To resize proportionally, provide either a new width or a new height and leave the other optional field empty.

Formula

Aspect ratio = width ÷ greatest common divisor(width, height).

Worked example

A 1920 × 1080 display simplifies to 16:9.

Common mistake

Enter width before height and use the same unit for both dimensions. Entering both resize fields can make the intended target unclear.

When to use it

Keep a photo, video, presentation, or screen layout in proportion when changing its dimensions.

Questions and answers

What does aspect ratio mean?

Will resizing keep the image proportional?
