What is an Aspect Ratio?

An aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image or screen. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, like 16:9.

16:9 is the universal standard for high-definition video and most computer monitors. It provides a wide field of view that balances cinematic feel with screen utility.

What is the Golden Ratio?

The Golden Ratio (approx. 1.618:1) is a proportion found in nature that is considered aesthetically pleasing in photography and architectural design.

How do I fix a distorted image?

Distorted images happen when the aspect ratio of the container doesn't match the image. Use this calculator to find the correct 'target' resolution for your assets.
