9:16 Aspect Ratio - Width, Height & CSS Dimensions

9:16 expresses width-to-height as 9:16. Vertical video for TikTok, Reels, and Stories. In CSS, write aspect-ratio: 9 / 16. The decimal width÷height value is approximately 0.5625. Lock either side in the calculator to keep that proportion when you resize frames, posters, or video embeds for this format.

Multiply width by 16/9: 1080 x (16 ÷ 9) = 1920px. Enter 1080 in the width field with ratio locked to 9:16 and the tool returns 1920px automatically. Change width anytime to regenerate height without breaking the ratio or introducing letterboxing.

Vertical 9:16 frames often use 1080x1920 for Full HD Stories/Reels or 720x1280 for lighter mobile exports. Enter either side in the calculator to lock the other and keep the crop consistent across platforms.

Use aspect-ratio: 9 / 16 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 9:16 box to prevent cumulative layout shift while the media loads. Copy the sample dimensions above when you need a concrete pixel fallback.

Ratio-specific pages document common resolutions and use cases for 9:16 without hunting presets. The embedded calculator is pre-loaded with 9:16 so you skip manual ratio entry - helpful when sharing links with teammates or clients who always work in this format for ads, video, or social crops.

The main Aspect Ratio Calculator supports any custom ratio, simplified GCD output, and all presets. Visit /dev-tools/aspect-ratio-calculator/ for the complete tool with methodology, cross-links to other Dev Tools, and free-form width or height entry when your project is not locked to a named preset.
