Image Aspect Ratio Detector
Image
Reads the natural width and height with the browser's Image API, divides them by their GCD to give a clean integer ratio (`1920×1080` → `16:9`), and matches the result against the most common screen, social, and camera ratios. No upload — the file is decoded locally and discarded when you clear it.
Everything runs in your browser — the file never leaves your device.
How to use
- Drop an image or click to pick one.
- Read the ratio in its simplest form, the decimal version (handy for CSS `aspect-ratio: 1.778 / 1`), and the megapixel count.
- Compare to the closest preset to know if you're effectively on 16:9, 4:3, etc.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does my 4032×3024 phone photo come out as 4:3?
- 4032 ÷ 1008 and 3024 ÷ 1008 both equal a small integer (4 and 3 respectively) — the GCD is 1008. That's standard for 12 MP phone sensors, which are physically 4:3 chips.
- What does "closest preset" mean?
- We score the image against a handful of named ratios (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 21:9, 9:16, …) and pick whichever is nearest in absolute ratio difference. The percentage tells you how close — under 1% means it's effectively that preset; 5% means you're between two named ratios.
- Does it run on huge images?
- Yes — the browser decodes the image to read dimensions and then discards the decoded pixels. Even 50 MP files measure instantly. Only metadata stays in memory.
