Frequently asked questions

What is 16:9?

16:9 is the standard widescreen ratio for HD/4K video, YouTube, most TVs and laptops. 1080p = 1920×1080. 4K UHD = 3840×2160.

How does 'Detect ratio' work?

It simplifies your width × height to the smallest equivalent integer ratio using GCD. So 1920×1080 becomes 16:9.

What's the CSS aspect-ratio property?

It's the modern way to lock an element's shape. `aspect-ratio: 16 / 9` makes the element keep that ratio whatever its width.
