How to use it

  1. Enter original width, original height, new width (optional) and new height (optional).
  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

Ratio = (width ÷ GCD) : (height ÷ GCD), where GCD is the greatest common divisor. New height = new width × height ÷ width, and new width = new height × width ÷ height.

Example

Inputs: Original width = 1,920 px, Original height = 1,080 px, New width (optional) = 1,280 px. Result: Simplified ratio: 16:9; Decimal ratio (width ÷ height): 1.7778; Closest common ratio: 16:9.

Limits and caveats

  • The closest common ratio is approximate: 1366×768 is not exactly 16:9.
  • New sizes can have fractions, so round to the nearest pixel when you apply them.

Questions about this tool

What size is a 16:9 image that is 1280 wide?

It is 720 pixels high, because 1280 × 9 ÷ 16 = 720.

What ratio is a 1080×1350 portrait post?

It is 4:5: the GCD is 270, and 1080 ÷ 270 = 4 while 1350 ÷ 270 = 5.

How do I set the ratio in CSS?

Use the aspect-ratio property, for example aspect-ratio: 16 / 9, so the element keeps its shape as the width changes.
