Frequently Asked Questions
What is 16:9?
16:9 is the standard aspect ratio for high-definition television, YouTube, and most modern computer monitors.
How do I use this to resize images?
Enter your current dimensions, then change one of the values (width or height). The tool will tell you what the other value must be to keep the image shape correct.
What happens if I change ratio?
If you change the ratio itself, you are effectively cropping or distorting the image shape. This tool focuses on resizing strictly within the same ratio.
