1. What is Aspect Ratio?

The aspect ratio of an image or display is the proportional relationship between its width and height. For 1920×1080 resolution, the aspect ratio is 16:9, which is the standard for widescreen displays.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the aspect ratio formula:

Where:

• Width — Horizontal resolution in pixels
• Height — Vertical resolution in pixels

Explanation: The calculator also simplifies the ratio to its smallest whole number terms (e.g., 1920:1080 becomes 16:9).

3. Importance of Aspect Ratio

Details: Aspect ratio is crucial in display technology, photography, and video production as it determines how content is displayed and affects image composition.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter width and height in pixels. The calculator will show both the decimal ratio and simplified ratio (e.g., 1.777... and 16:9 for 1920×1080).
