Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard vertical video aspect ratio for Shorts and TikTok?

Standard vertical video uses 9:16 aspect ratio (commonly 1080x1920 pixels).

How is the simplified aspect ratio calculated from custom pixel resolutions?

The engine uses the Euclidean greatest common divisor (GCD) algorithm to divide both width and height by their common denominator, followed by approximation matching against industry-standard video standards (such as 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 1:1, and 21:9).

What is the difference between 16:9 and 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratios?

16:9 (1.77:1) is the universal standard for YouTube, HDTV, and standard computer displays. 21:9 (2.33:1 or 2.39:1) is the anamorphic ultrawide standard used in cinematic feature films and curved gaming monitors.
