Aspect Ratio Calculator (16:9, 4:3, 1:1)
h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.
Height = width × (ratio height / ratio width). 1920×1080 is 16:9. Instagram’s 1:1 is a crop, not a camera sensor. Letterboxing is you refusing to crop.

How this calculator works
Height = width × (ratio height / ratio width). 1920×1080 is 16:9. Instagram’s 1:1 is a crop, not a camera sensor. Letterboxing is you refusing to crop. h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9. Example: 1920 wide at 16:9 → 1080 high. 1080 wide at 1:1 → 1080 high.
h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.
Example: 1920 wide at 16:9 → 1080 high. 1080 wide at 1:1 → 1080 high.
When to use this Aspect Ratio
Common use cases
- Height = width × (ratio height / ratio width). 1920×1080 is 16:9. Instagram’s 1:1 is a crop, not a camera sensor. Letterboxing is you refusing to crop.
- Sanity-check with this case: 1920 wide at 16:9 → 1080 high. 1080 wide at 1:1 → 1080 high.
- The relationship is: h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.

What you get
- Fields: Width (px)
- h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.
- Example on the page: 1920 wide at 16:9 → 1080 high. 1080 wide at 1:1 → 1080 high.
How to Convert Aspect Ratio Step-by-Step
- 1Enter Width (px). Use the values you have, not a catalog average, unless that is all you know.
- 2h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.
- 3Worked case: 1920 wide at 16:9 → 1080 high. 1080 wide at 1:1 → 1080 high.
- 4Check which dictionary the other person is using — US or UK, decimal or 1,024 — then trust the number.
Governing formula
h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.
1920 wide at 16:9 → 1080 high. 1080 wide at 1:1 → 1080 high.
Example: set Width (px) = 1,920, then read the result.

The “Width (px)” field. Default 1920; typical range 1–20000.
- The conversion (h = w × hRatio / wRatio. gcd reduces 1920×1080 to 16:9.) does not pick US vs UK gallons, SI vs binary megabytes, or Mach at altitude for you. Read the footnote on the page.
- Nothing here is uploaded for the calculation itself.

- Tire Size Comparison225/55R17: sidewall = 225 × 0.55 mm; overall diameter = rim + 2 × sidewall. Changing plus-size wheels without matching diameter fools speedometers. Load index is not in this geometry.
- Audio Bitrate StorageUncompressed-ish math: size in bytes = bitrate (bits/s) × seconds ÷ 8. A 320 kbps MP3, 4 minutes, is about 9.6 MB. CD audio 1,411 kbps is 10.6 MB per minute. Variable bitrate files will miss this — it is an average-rate sketch.

- Decades to YearsA decade is 10 years. The year on this site is the Julian year of 365.25 days used in astronomy, so a decade is 3,652.5 days, not “ten calendars plus guesswork.” History decades (1990s) are labels, not durations.
- Gear Ratio to Speedmph ≈ RPM / ratio × tire circumference × 60 / 63,360. Overall ratio is gear × final drive × (transfer case). Torque converter slip in autos is extra. Use the tire-size page for diameter.

Unit Converters
A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.

Very usable on mobile. Would love a save/export option later, but the math feels solid.
