Enter your target scaled Width (e.g. 800) to immediately compute the exact proportional Height.
Alternatively, enter target scaled Height to compute the required Width.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is calculating exact aspect ratios critical for Core Web Vitals?
When browsers know the exact aspect ratio of an image or video before the asset downloads, they reserve the correct vertical box space on the page. This prevents Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), which directly impacts your Google SEO ranking.
How do I use this in modern CSS?
Modern CSS supports the native aspect-ratio property. For example, if your ratio is 16:9, you can simply declare aspect-ratio: 16 / 9; in your stylesheet or use Tailwind aspect-video.
What are the most common web aspect ratios?
16:9 (Standard widescreen video & YouTube), 1:1 (Square social posts & product thumbnails), 4:3 (Traditional photography & iPad displays), and 1.91:1 (Open Graph social share cards: 1200x630).
