How the result works

Aspect ratio compares width with height. A 4:3 image remains 4:3 at 4000 × 3000, 1600 × 1200 or 800 × 600. Proportional resizing preserves that relationship and prevents faces or objects from looking stretched.

  • Keep the aspect ratio locked while resizing
  • Crop intentionally when changing formats
  • Use the largest source before creating smaller versions

Common questions

How do I calculate aspect ratio?

Divide width and height by their greatest common divisor to produce a simplified ratio.

What happens if I change only one dimension?

If the other dimension is not adjusted proportionally, the image will stretch or compress.

What ratio is an iPhone photo?

Many iPhone camera photos use 4:3, but screenshots, portraits, panoramas and cropped images can use other ratios.
