Aspect Ratio Calculator: Quick and Clear Results

This aspect ratio calculator keeps your width and height aligned. Enter the original width and height, then type one new value to resize.

What This Calculator Does

The aspect ratio calculator preserves the link between width and height during scaling. It calculates the missing dimension as you type. It displays the simplified ratio like 16:9.

Fields and what to enter:

• Width Original width as a number in any unit.
• Height Original height in the same unit as width.
• New Width Target width if you plan a specific size.
• New Height Target height if that is your constraint.
• Clear All Reset all fields and start fresh.

Use the same unit in all fields for a correct scale.

How It Works

Enter your original width and height. The tool reduces them to the smallest whole numbers. Aspect ratio is width divided by height in simplest form. This gives a clear ratio such as 4:3 or 3:2.

When you type a new width, it computes the matching height. The formula uses original height times new width divided by original width. Type a new height to compute the matching width. The formula uses original width times new height divided by original height. The result rounds to two decimals.

It checks the ratio against known targets and may add a label.
