How a Video Aspect Ratio Calculator Works

Aspect ratio describes the proportional relationship between a frame's width and height. This calculator keeps the selected ratio locked while you change either dimension, then calculates the matching dimension automatically. It also simplifies the ratio and shows the total pixel count in megapixels.

The tool is designed for planning and resizing workflows. It calculates dimensions in pixels; it does not crop, encode, render, or export a video file.

Common Video and Social Media Dimensions

Format Aspect Ratio Example Dimensions Typical Workflow
Vertical video 9:16 1080 × 1920 px Reels, Shorts, TikTok
Widescreen video 16:9 1920 × 1080 px YouTube and standard HD video
Portrait image/video 4:5 1080 × 1350 px Portrait social posts
Square 1:1 1080 × 1080 px Square posts and graphics

These are common working dimensions, not a guarantee of a platform's current upload requirements. Check the destination platform or service when a project has a specific technical specification.

Aspect Ratio Formulas for Editors

Width from Height

Width = Height × ratio width ÷ ratio height.

Height from Width

Height = Width × ratio height ÷ ratio width.

Ratio Simplification

The calculator uses the greatest common divisor to reduce a width and height to the simplest ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 9:16 in pixels?

9:16 is a proportion, not a single resolution. 1080 × 1920 pixels is a common example of a 9:16 vertical frame. Other dimensions such as 720 × 1280 and 2160 × 3840 keep the same ratio.

What is 16:9 in pixels?

16:9 can use many resolutions. Common examples include 1920 × 1080 for Full HD and 3840 × 2160 for 4K.

How do I resize a video without stretching it?

Keep the target aspect ratio fixed and calculate the matching width or height before changing your editing timeline or canvas size. This calculator performs that proportional calculation automatically.

Does this calculator crop or resize my actual video?

No. It only calculates dimensions and previews the selected proportion. Use your video editor or image editor to perform the actual crop, resize, or export.

Why does changing width also change height?

The calculator keeps the current aspect ratio locked. Changing one dimension therefore recalculates the other dimension to preserve the same proportions.

Is the calculator free to use?

Yes. The calculator runs directly in the browser and is available without an account or paid plan.
