Aspect Ratio Calculator

Find the aspect ratio of any width and height, and scale dimensions proportionally.

Instant and private in your browser.

Get the proportional height for a new width.

How do you calculate an aspect ratio?

The ratio is width:height divided by their greatest common divisor; a new height = new width × (height ÷ width). For example, 1920 × 1080 reduces to 16:9 (1.778:1), and scaled to 1280 wide the height is 720. Common ratios include 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3 (classic), 1:1 (square) and 21:9 (ultrawide).

Understanding your result

Common ratios include 16:9 (widescreen), 4:3 (classic), 1:1 (square) and 21:9 (ultrawide).

Formula and method

The ratio is width:height divided by their greatest common divisor. A new height = new width × (height ÷ width).

Worked example

1920 × 1080 reduces to 16:9 (1.778:1). Scaled to 1280 wide, the height is 720.
