About
Image aspect ratio is the relationship between an image's width and height. It's expressed as two numbers, like 16:9 or 4:3. For example, a 16:9 aspect ratio means the width is 16 units wide for every 9 units of height. Aspect ratio helps ensure images look good on different screens, like phones, computers, and TVs. Using the correct ratio prevents stretching or squishing the image and maintains its quality.
