Why does the ratio get reduced to '8:5' instead of '16:10'?

The tool divides both sides by the greatest common divisor — 16:10 and 8:5 are the same shape. Both are correct.

Which separators does the ratio input accept?

`:`, `×`, `x`, and `/` — `16:9`, `16×9`, `16x9`, `16/9` all work.

What does 'fit inside' compute?

Given a container W × H and your aspect ratio, the largest dimensions of that ratio that fit inside without cropping or stretching.

Yes — `2.39:1` (cinema scope) is parsed correctly.

Aspect Ratio Calculator

Three linked fields: width, height, and ratio. Type a new width and the height updates to keep the ratio; type a new ratio (`16:9`, `21×9`, `1920/1080`) and the height adjusts to match. Eight common presets cover most video/social formats. The 'fit inside' section solves the other common question: 'I have a 1280×800 container — how big will my 16:9 video render?'
