What is aspect ratio CSS?

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a style sheet language. It is often used for designing websites together with some markup languages such as HTML or XML.

CSS aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of different screen sizes. It can also be interpreted as the aspect ratio for screen sizes. We usually describe it with two numbers and a semicolon between them — for example, 2:1. This means that the width of the image is twice its height. It's a very useful concept for resizing photos or videos for your blog or social media account.

Assuming you are working on a CSS design for a website to fit on a screen size of the width of 16 in and height of 9 in. You can calculate the CSS aspect ratio in three steps:

  1. Determine the width and height of the screen

    In this example, the width of the screen is 16 in. The screen's height, on the other hand, is 9 in.

  2. Calculate the CSS aspect ratio

    The next step is to calculate the CSS aspect ratio by dividing the screen's width by the screen's height. The CSS image aspect ratio formula is as follows:

    CSS aspect ratio = width / height

    The CSS aspect ratio is the screen to design is 16 / 9.

  3. Determine the CSS aspect ratio of your screen

    Now, we can compare the CSS aspect ratio by comparing the number with the popular screen aspect ratio. The aspect ratio for the screen in this example is 16:9.
