Video Aspect Ratio Calculator
Enter a pixel width and height to get the exact and simplified aspect ratio, plus the nearest named standard (16:9, 2.39:1, 4:3…).
Aspect ratio is just width÷height reduced by the greatest common divisor: 1920×1080 → 16:9, 2048×858 → 2.39:1 scope. Knowing the exact ratio matters when a deliverable spec demands a precise container and your raster is a few pixels off.
