3:2 Aspect Ratio Calculator
3:2 is the classic 35mm film and DSLR photo ratio. Most full-frame cameras and many APS-C cameras shoot in 3:2 by default.
Where 3:2 is used
3:2 is the classic 35mm film ratio. Most full-frame DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, most APS-C cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji), and 35mm film prints all use 3:2. If you've ever taken a photo with a real camera, it was probably 3:2 unless you chose otherwise.
It's also a common photo print size. 4×6 prints are 3:2, the most popular print size in consumer photo labs.
Common 3:2 dimensions
Phone DSLR-mode photos vary, but full-frame cameras typically produce 6000×4000 or larger at 3:2. For web, 1500×1000 or 2400×1600 are sharp and reasonable file sizes. For 4×6 prints at 300dpi, you need 1800×1200.
3:2 on social
Social platforms don't natively favor 3:2. Instagram crops it (between 1:1 and 4:5 portrait). Twitter / X displays it cleanly in-feed. Facebook accepts it. If you're a photographer posting straight from camera, expect to crop for Instagram.
How the calculator works
Math, resizing, and image cropping in one place. Free, no signup, no watermark.
Enter your dimensions
Type any width and height in pixels. We simplify the ratio with the greatest common divisor and tell you the closest standard match.
Resize without losing proportions
Switch to Resize. Keep the original ratio while scaling to a new width or height. Round to whole pixels with one click.
Or drop in an image
Image mode shows a smart-cropped preview for every social platform: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and more.
Download the right size
Grab a single PNG at the exact dimensions you need, or download every social platform size at once as a ZIP.
Built for the work you actually do
Every social platform. Every common ratio. Image-aware so you see what gets cropped before you post.
Sizing for Instagram
Square, portrait, story, Reel. Instagram has four valid sizes and the wrong one gets your post cropped. Pick the platform, get the pixels.
YouTube videos and thumbnails
Videos at 1920×1080 or 3840×2160. Thumbnails at 1280×720. Shorts at 1080×1920. Get the right size without searching the YouTube docs.
TikTok and Reels covers
9:16 vertical at 1080×1920. Drop your cover art, download a perfectly cropped version that won't get squashed.
DSLR and stock photos
Original 3:2 photo, target 4:5 Instagram portrait? Resize without distortion. Center crop preview shows what gets cut.
Designing for screens
Build mockups that fit 16:9 monitors, 9:16 phones, or 21:9 ultrawides. Get pixel dimensions before you open Figma.

Frequently asked questions
Is 1500×1000 a 3:2 image?
Yes. 1500÷1000 = 1.5, which is 3:2. Same shape as 6000×4000.
What size print is 3:2?
4×6, 8×12, 12×18, and 16×24 prints are all 3:2. They're the standard print sizes from 35mm photography.
What is an aspect ratio?
Aspect ratio is the relationship between width and height, written as width:height. A 1920×1080 image has a 16:9 aspect ratio because 1920÷120 = 16 and 1080÷120 = 9. The ratio describes the shape of the rectangle, independent of size. A 1280×720 image is also 16:9.
How do I calculate the aspect ratio of an image?
Divide width by height to get the decimal ratio. To get the simplified form, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of width and height and divide both by it. 1920÷1080 = 1.778, GCD(1920, 1080) = 120, so the ratio is 16:9. The calculator above does this instantly.
Is 1920×1080 a 16:9 aspect ratio?
Yes. 1920÷1080 = 1.778, which equals 16÷9. Full HD video, most monitors, and standard YouTube videos are all 16:9 at 1920×1080.
What aspect ratio is best for Instagram?
Instagram supports four ratios. Square 1:1 at 1080×1080 for feed posts. Portrait 4:5 at 1080×1350 for taller feed posts (recommended for organic reach). Landscape 1.91:1 at 1080×566 for wide posts. Vertical 9:16 at 1080×1920 for Stories and Reels.
What ratio should I use for TikTok?
TikTok uses 9:16 vertical at 1080×1920 pixels. The same applies to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. One vertical export covers all three.
