Frequently Asked Questions
What is an aspect ratio?
An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of a visual element. It is written as a ratio of two numbers separated by a colon (e.g. 16:9, 4:3) where the first number corresponds to horizontal length and the second to vertical height.
What is the standard aspect ratio for modern screens?
The standard aspect ratio for modern televisions, smartphones, monitors, and web videos is 16:9 (widescreen). Standard mobile vertical content (like TikTok or Instagram Reels) uses the inverse 9:16 aspect ratio.
How do I scale an image without losing its aspect ratio?
To scale an image proportionally, divide the original width by the original height to find the aspect ratio multiplier. Then, multiply your new target height by this multiplier to get the correct proportional target width.
