How It Works

Enter Your Original Dimensions

These fields create your base ratio. Here is what each input does and what to enter.

• Quick Presets menu. Choose a common ratio with one click. Pick 16:9 Widescreen. Or 4:3 Standard. Or 1:1 Square. Or 21:9 Ultrawide. Or 9:16 Portrait. Or 3:2 Photo.
• Width. Enter a positive number that suits your unit. Pixels work well for screens. Inches or centimeters fit print.
• Height. Use the same unit as width. Start values show 16 by 9 for convenience.
• Ratio label. It shows the simplified ratio as you type.

Calculate New Size

Use these controls to scale your design cleanly. Enter one target side, then let the tool compute the other side.

• New Width. Enter a target width when you need a fixed width.
• Calculate Height button. Click to get the matching height from the base ratio.
• New Height. Enter a target height when you need a fixed height.
• Calculate Width button. Click to get the matching width from the base ratio.

The result box prints a clear sentence with the new size. It also repeats the ratio for easy checks. The preview shows two rectangles for a quick visual check. Original uses the base ratio from width and height. New appears after both new fields hold values. The preview scales to fit the screen and skips real world size.
