Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 16:9 aspect ratio mean?
A 16:9 ratio means the width is 16 units for every 9 units of height. It is the standard for modern monitors, TVs and video, giving a widescreen shape of 1920x1080 and similar resolutions.
How do I resize an image without stretching it?
Keep the same aspect ratio. If the original is 1600x900 (16:9) and you want 1280 wide, the height must be 720 so the picture scales cleanly without distortion.
What is the difference between 16:9 and 4:3?
4:3 is the older, more square shape used by legacy monitors and documents, while 16:9 is wider and suited to modern video. Mixing them adds black bars on the sides or top.
