How do I maintain aspect ratio when resizing in CSS?

What is an Aspect Ratio Calculator?

An aspect ratio calculator helps you find the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image, video, or screen. For example, a 1920×1080 pixel video has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Knowing this ratio is essential when resizing media so it does not appear stretched or squished — you scale dimensions while keeping the ratio constant.

Graphic designers use it to prepare banner ads at exact sizes, video editors use it to crop footage for YouTube (16:9) or Instagram Reels (9:16), and web developers use it to embed responsive iframes. Architects and engineers use aspect ratios when scaling blueprints. Our tool handles both directions: find the ratio from known dimensions, or calculate a missing dimension from a known ratio.

How to Use the Aspect Ratio Calculator

Calculate ratio from dimensions: Enter the width and height of your image or screen — the simplified ratio (e.g. 16:9) and decimal value appear instantly.
Scale dimensions: Enter your ratio (e.g. 16 and 9), choose whether you know the width or height, enter the known value, and get the matching dimension.
Benutzen Sie die common presets (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 21:9, 9:16, 3:2…) to load popular ratios instantly.
Copy the result and use it in your design software, CSS, or video editor.
