ToolWisp Aspect Ratio Calculator helps you calculate a missing width or height while preserving a chosen ratio.
It is useful for images, video, presentations, thumbnails, social media graphics, displays, game assets, and web layouts.
Choose a common ratio such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, 4:5, or 21:9, then enter a width or height to calculate the matching dimension.

4:3 to 16:9 calculator
Converting from 4:3 to 16:9 can mean two different things: fitting the entire 4:3 image inside a wider 16:9 frame,
or filling a 16:9 frame and cropping part of the original image. The Convert Ratio mode shows both options.
Source: 1600 × 1200 (4:3)
Target: 16:9
Fit inside original frame:
1600 × 900
Fill target frame:
2133 × 1200
(crop the extra width)
For example, a 1600 × 1200 image has a 4:3 ratio. A 16:9 frame using the same 1600 px width is 1600 × 900.
If you instead keep the full 1200 px height, a 16:9 frame is approximately 2133 × 1200.

Aspect Ratio Calculator FAQ
How do I convert 4:3 to 16:9?
Open Convert Ratio mode, choose 4:3 as the source and 16:9 as the target, then enter the source dimensions.
ToolWisp shows dimensions for fitting inside the original frame and for filling the target ratio with cropping.
What is 1920 pixels wide at 16:9?
A width of 1920 pixels at a 16:9 aspect ratio corresponds to a height of 1080 pixels, giving a 1920 × 1080 resolution.
What is 1280 pixels wide at 16:9?
A width of 1280 pixels at 16:9 corresponds to 720 pixels high, giving 1280 × 720.
How do I calculate a missing width?
Choose your aspect ratio, select Height → calculate width, enter the height, and ToolWisp calculates the matching width.
Can I enter a custom aspect ratio?
Yes. Enter any positive values in the two aspect-ratio fields, such as 3:2, 5:4, 2.39:1, or a custom screen ratio.
What is the difference between fit and crop when changing ratios?
Fit keeps the entire source visible inside the target ratio, which may leave unused space. Fill or crop makes the target frame completely full, which requires removing some content from the edges.
