Size Ratio Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the ratio between two dimensions of an image or any other object.
Purpose: It helps designers, photographers, and developers maintain proper aspect ratios when resizing images or designing layouts.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The ratio is calculated by dividing the first dimension by the second dimension.
Details: Maintaining proper aspect ratios is crucial for preventing image distortion, creating responsive designs, and ensuring visual consistency across different platforms.
Tips: Enter both dimensions in the same units. The second dimension must be greater than zero. The result is a unitless ratio.
Q1: What is a common image aspect ratio?
A: Common ratios include 4:3 (standard), 16:9 (widescreen), 1:1 (square), and 3:2 (35mm film).
Q2: How do I use this ratio to resize an image?
A: Multiply either dimension by the ratio to calculate the corresponding dimension while maintaining aspect ratio.
Q3: Can I use different units for size1 and size2?
A: No, both dimensions must be in the same units for the ratio to be meaningful.
Q4: What does a ratio of 1 mean?
A: A ratio of 1 means both dimensions are equal (square aspect ratio).
Q5: How precise is the ratio calculation?
A: The calculator shows 6 decimal places for precision in professional applications.
