  • Check the units and required inputs before comparing results.
  • Keep the assumptions with a copied result so you can reproduce the calculation later.

How it works

Exact ratio of whole pixel dimensions

Reduce two positive whole pixel dimensions to an exact ratio. Keep orientation explicit and check camera or layout behavior in the actual application. An exact integer ratio; no display class is inferred. Fractional pixel dimensions are rejected instead of silently rounded. A ratio alone does not establish a field of view or safe area. Portrait and landscape inputs remain distinct.

Reduced width = width ÷ gcd(width, height); reduced height = height ÷ gcd(width, height)

FAQ

Rounding would change the ratio being described.

Only if the actual layout and scaling policy preserve the content. Check the rendered result.

Yes, to calculate the other orientation; it produces the reciprocal ratio.
