How It Works

STEP 1

Pick Your Unit or Preset

Choose your home unit using the dropdown or load a one-click preset. Defaults are sensible engineering values so you can start right away.

STEP 2

Enter a Value

Type a number — conversion runs as you type. Many tools have multiple input boxes (W & H, size & speed) — edit any of them and the rest recompute.

STEP 3

Read Every Equivalent

Below the main result, the All Units / Summary panel shows your value across every supported unit, with engineering context (FPS, ping, EM band, etc.) where relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions

16:9 — used for almost every modern TV, monitor, smartphone (landscape), and YouTube video. Decimal: 1.7778. The vertical version (9:16) dominates short-form video like TikTok and Reels.

Most modern movies are 2.39:1 (anamorphic widescreen) or 1.85:1 (academy widescreen). When you watch on a 16:9 TV you get black bars top and bottom. IMAX is closer to 1.43:1.

Multiply width by 9/16. So 1920 × 9 / 16 = 1080. The tool does this automatically — just enter the width and the height appears.

4:5 (1080 × 1350) is the tallest portrait that still fits in the feed without being cropped. 9:16 (full vertical) gets cropped on the feed but works for Stories and Reels.

16:9 is 1.778 (TV / phones); 16:10 is 1.6 (older laptops, MacBook Pro 16"). The 16:10 panel is taller, giving more vertical space for documents and code.
