What is Aspect Ratio?
Aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image or video. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon (e.g., 16:9), where the first number represents the width and the second represents the height. Understanding aspect ratios is crucial for ensuring your content displays correctly across different devices and platforms.
