Quick Tool Overview

The Image Aspect Ratio Calculator answers the two questions that come up constantly: what ratio a pair of dimensions makes, and what the missing dimension should be for a target ratio. No image needed. Ratios are reduced and matched against the standards, so 1456 by 816 is named as 16:9 rather than 91:51.

About the Image Aspect Ratio Calculator

Two questions come up constantly and both are arithmetic: what ratio is 1456 by 816, and if I need it 1200 wide what should the height be?

Both are answered here, and no image is needed — this is a calculator, not an inspector. Type any two of the four values and the others follow. The ratio is reduced to its simplest whole-number form and matched against the standard ones, so you find out that 1456 by 816 is 16:9 rather than being handed 91:51. A reference table of every common screen, social and print ratio sits alongside.

Key features of the Image Aspect Ratio Calculator

Works in every direction

Type any two of the four values and the others follow, rather than one fixed calculation.

No image required

This is arithmetic, so it works from numbers alone — useful when you are planning rather than editing.

Reference table

Every common screen, social and print ratio with its typical pixel dimensions, on the same page.

Instant
