Aspect ratio calculator (16:9, 4:3, 21:9)

Find the aspect ratio of any resolution, such as 1920 × 1080 = 16:9, resize it to a new width or height, or fit it in a screen with letterbox bars.

1,920 × 1,080 simplifies to 16:9: the width is 1.7778 times the height.

计算方法 S

  1. Divide both sides by their greatest common divisor

    gcd⁡(1920,1080)=120,1920120:1080120=16:9\gcd(1920, 1080) = 120,\quad \frac{1920}{120} : \frac{1080}{120} = 16 : 9

  2. As a single number

    1,9201,080=1.7778\frac{1{,}920}{1{,}080} = 1.7778

关于Aspect ratio calculator (16:9, 4:3, 21:9)

The aspect ratio is the width divided by the height, written in lowest terms by dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor: 1920 ÷ 120 = 16 and 1080 ÷ 120 = 9, so 1920 × 1080 is 16:9. Resizing keeps that quotient fixed, so the new height is the new width × H ÷ W. Fitting a picture inside another frame uses the largest scale that fits both ways, s = min(frame width ÷ W, frame height ÷ H), and the leftover space becomes bars.

Scaling 1920 × 1080 to 1280 wide gives 1280 × 720. Showing that 16:9 picture on a 1024 × 768 screen gives a 1024 × 576 picture with 96 px letterbox bars above and below, so the picture uses 75% of the screen.

Sizes stay exact fractions until the end. Scaled sizes are then rounded to whole pixels, which can shift the ratio slightly.

常见问题

What is the aspect ratio of 1920 × 1080?

1920 × 1080 is 16:9: both sides divide by their greatest common divisor, 120, to give 16 and 9, and the width is 1.7778 times the height. ITU-R BT.709 defines 1920 × 1080 as the HDTV picture format, and the same 16:9 shape covers 1280 × 720, 2560 × 1440 and 3840 × 2160 (4K UHD).

Is a 21:9 ultrawide monitor really 21:9?

No. Ultrawide monitors sold as 21:9 are 2560 × 1080 (64:27, 2.370), 3440 × 1440 (43:18, 2.389) or 3840 × 1600 (12:5, 2.4), while 21:9 itself is 2.333. The label is rounded marketing, and the gap shows up in practice: true 21:9 video on a 3440 × 1440 panel fills 3360 × 1440 and leaves a 40 px pillarbox bar on each side.

How do I calculate the new height when resizing an image?

Multiply the new width by the original height over the original width: new height = new width × H ÷ W. Scaling 1920 × 1080 to 1280 wide gives 1280 × 1080 ÷ 1920 = 720. The other way round, new width = new height × W ÷ H, so a 4:3 picture 1080 tall is 1440 wide. Round to whole pixels at the end, and to even numbers for most video encoders.

What is the difference between letterbox and pillarbox?

Letterboxing adds bars above and below when the picture is wider than the screen, such as 16:9 video on a 1024 × 768 display, which gets 96 px bars. Pillarboxing adds bars on the left and right when the picture is narrower, such as 4:3 content on a 1920 × 1080 screen, which leaves 240 px on each side. Zooming to fill removes the bars but crops the picture, by 25% in that 4:3 case.

What aspect ratios do cinema films use?

Digital cinema uses two DCI container shapes: flat at 1.85:1 (1998 × 1080 in the 2K container) and scope at 2.39:1 (2048 × 858). On a 1920 × 1080 TV, a 2.39:1 film shows letterbox bars of about 138 px above and below, and a 1.85:1 film bars of about 21 px, because both are wider than the TV's 16:9 (1.78:1).

“Aspect ratio calculator (16:9, 4:3, 21:9)”有多准确？

准确性取决于输入值和方法的假设。十进制运算使用50位有效数字，但估算、数值方法和源数据的精度可能较低；显示时的舍入并不能消除这些限制。 已按独立来源核验的计算示例：9。 例如，“Full HD”根据Python 3.8: fractions.Fraction(1920, 1080) = 16/9进行核验。
