💡 CSS trick: aspect-ratio: 16/9 or the old padding-top: 56.25% hack (9/16). When cropping video for multiple platforms, shoot center-safe: keep key content in the middle 4:5 zone so 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 crops all work.

Formula & How It Works

Aspect ratio math

Ratio = width:height reduced by GCD
Scale proportionally: new height = old height × (new width ÷ old width)
Common: 16:9 video, 4:3 legacy, 21:9 ultrawide, 1:1 square, 9:16 vertical, 3:2 photo
Never stretch non-proportionally — lock the ratio

Example: 1920×1080 → GCD 120 → 16:9; width 1280 → height 1080×(1280/1920) = 720.
