What the Aspect Ratio Calculator Does

The Aspect Ratio Calculator keeps an image or video at the same proportions when you change its size. You enter the original width and height, then type one target dimension — the new width or the new height — and it works out the matching value so nothing gets stretched or squished.

It also shows the simplified aspect ratio (like 16:9 or 4:3) and the scale factor between the original and target sizes. That makes it quick to confirm a resize is proportional, or to check what ratio a given set of dimensions actually is.

Everything is calculated instantly in your browser as you type — nothing is uploaded, and there's no signup.

The Formula

Aspect ratio is just width divided by height, and a proportional resize keeps that ratio constant: W1 ÷ H1 = W2 ÷ H2. From there, if you know the new width, the new height is H2 = H1 × (W2 ÷ W1); if you know the new height, the new width is W2 = W1 × (H2 ÷ H1). The calculator does this for you, but the math is simple enough to sanity-check by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Aspect Ratio Calculator free?
Yes, completely free with no account or download. Use it as much as you like.
How do I keep proportions when resizing?
Enter your original width and height, then type only the new width or only the new height. The calculator fills in the matching value so the proportions stay identical.
Does this resize my actual image file?
No — it calculates the correct dimensions. To resize the file itself, use those numbers in an image editor or try the Image Resizer tool linked in the sidebar.
What's the difference between aspect ratio and scale factor?
Aspect ratio is the shape (width to height, like 16:9). Scale factor is how much bigger or smaller the new size is than the original — for example, 2× means twice the size in both dimensions.
Is my data stored?
No. Every calculation happens in your browser, so the numbers you enter are never uploaded or tracked.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet, or desktop — no app to install.
