Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between simplified and decimal aspect ratios?

Simplified ratios (like 16:9) show the relationship as whole numbers, while decimal ratios (like 1.778) provide precise mathematical values useful for calculations and programming.

How accurate is the common aspect ratio detection?

Our tool uses a 2% tolerance to match against standard ratios, accommodating slight variations due to cropping or compression while still identifying the intended format.

Can this tool help me choose the right aspect ratio for my project?

Yes! Each detected ratio includes usage context and descriptions, helping you understand where different aspect ratios are commonly used in photography, video, and design.

What does the percentage difference from square mean?

This shows how much wider or taller your image is compared to a perfect square (1:1). Positive percentages indicate landscape orientation, negative indicate portrait.

Are my images uploaded to analyze the aspect ratio?

No, all analysis happens locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and instant results.

Can I use this for video files?

While designed for images, the tool can analyze the first frame of many video formats to determine their aspect ratio, though dedicated video analysis tools may be more appropriate.
