Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does a 16:9 ratio specify a resolution?

No. 1920×1080 and 1280×720 both have a 16:9 ratio but contain different numbers of pixels.

Is every ultrawide monitor exactly 21:9?

No. 3440×1440 simplifies to 43:18. Marketing labels can approximate an aspect ratio; use the actual width and height for exact calculations.

Can resizing create more image detail?

No. A ratio calculator supplies dimensions. It does not resize a file or recover detail missing from the source image.
