Understanding Aspect Ratios

What is Aspect Ratio?

Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between an image's width and height.

16:9 = 1920×1080 pixels
Width is 1.78 times the height

4:3 = 1024×768 pixels
Width is 1.33 times the height

Why Aspect Ratios Matter

Platform Requirements: Each platform has optimal ratios
Instagram: 1:1, Facebook: 16:9

Print Standards: Avoid stretching or cropping
Photos: 3:2, A4: √2:1

Screen Display: Match device ratios
Laptop: 16:10, Phone: 9:16

Common Ratio Types

Landscape (Horizontal): Width > Height
16:9, 4:3, 21:9

Portrait (Vertical): Height > Width
9:16, 3:4, 2:3

Square: Equal dimensions
1:1

Calculation Methods

From Width: Height = Width ÷ Ratio
1920 ÷ 1.78 = 1080

From Height: Width = Height × Ratio
1080 × 1.78 = 1920

Simplify Ratio: Divide by GCD
1920:1080 = 16:9

💡 Pro Tips

Use the "Maintain aspect ratio" checkbox to prevent image distortion
Check platform guidelines regularly - social media sizes change occasionally
For print, always work at 300 DPI for high quality results
When in doubt, use 16:9 for landscapes and 9:16 for mobile-first content
Keep original high-resolution files and resize copies for different platforms
Test how your images look on actual devices before finalizing dimensions
Consider file size - larger dimensions mean larger files
