1:1 Aspect Ratio FAQ
What is the 1:1 aspect ratio?
1:1 expresses width-to-height as 1:1. Square Instagram feed posts and profile avatars. In CSS, write aspect-ratio: 1 / 1. The decimal width÷height value is approximately 1.0000. Lock either side in the calculator to keep that proportion when you resize frames, posters, or video embeds for this format.
If width is 1080px at 1:1, what is the height?
Multiply width by 1/1: 1080 x (1 ÷ 1) = 1080px. Enter 1080 in the width field with ratio locked to 1:1 and the tool returns 1080px automatically. Change width anytime to regenerate height without breaking the ratio or introducing letterboxing.
What pixel dimensions are common for 1:1?
Square 1:1 exports commonly use 1080x1080 or 1200x1200 px for social feed posts. Matching both sides keeps avatars, product tiles, and carousel slides aligned without stretching.
How do I set 1:1 in CSS?
Use aspect-ratio: 1 / 1 on a block container. Pair it with width: 100% or a fixed max-width; the browser computes height. For embedded video, wrap the iframe in a 1:1 box to prevent cumulative layout shift while the media loads. Copy the sample dimensions above when you need a concrete pixel fallback.
