Batch Converter

Convert many resolutions at once

Paste one resolution per line using `width x height`. The parser accepts x, the multiply sign, spaces, commas, colons, slashes, and tab-separated values, so you can paste directly from spreadsheets, docs, or export files.

Supported Input Formats

Paste messy resolution data without cleaning it first

The parser accepts the formats people actually paste from spreadsheets, ad spec docs, design handoff notes, and export tools. As long as two numbers are present and separated by a recognizable delimiter, the tool will parse the row automatically.

FormatExampleNotes
x (lowercase)1920x1080Most common format
Multiply sign1920×1080Unicode copy-paste safe
Space1920 1080Useful when pasted from tables
Comma1920,1080Common CSV source format
Colon1920:1080Some tools export this way
Slash1920/1080Common in specs documents
Tab1920<TAB>1080Works with Excel and Sheets paste

Invalid input examples

1920

Only one number is present.

1920x

The height value is missing.

abcxdef

Both sides must be numeric.

0x1080

Width must be greater than zero.

1920x0

Height must be greater than zero.

(empty line)

Blank lines are ignored rather than counted as errors.

Limits and validation rules

Maximum processed rows: 500 non-empty lines per session.

Soft size guidance: dimensions larger than 99999px still calculate, but the row gets a warning so unusually large values are easy to spot.

Blank lines: skipped automatically so you can paste directly from messy lists without cleanup.

Numeric requirement: both width and height must be positive numbers. Missing or malformed values are flagged with a line-specific error.

Output Columns

Understanding the values in the results table

Each processed row comes back with enough information for QA, spreadsheet work, design cleanup, and CSS handoff. These columns are where the page earns its SEO value because they answer the follow-up questions users have after the raw calculation is done.

Ratio — The Simplified Integer Ratio

The Ratio column reduces width and height to the smallest whole-number pair using the greatest common divisor method. That gives you exact math for clean ratios like 16:9, 4:3, and 1:1.

This matters when you need truthful dimensions instead of a rounded marketing label. It is the column to trust when you are building templates, naming exports, or comparing whether two raw resolutions are actually proportional.

1920 x 1080
GCD(1920, 1080) = 120
1920 / 120 = 16
1080 / 120 = 9
Result: 16:9

Decimal — Width Divided By Height

The Decimal column is the ratio expressed as a single number rounded to four decimal places. It is useful for comparing how wide one format is relative to another and for identifying near-matches that are not obvious from integer pairs alone.

Values above 1 are landscape, 1 is square, and values below 1 are portrait. Developers and analysts often prefer decimal ratios because they sort more naturally in scripts and spreadsheets.

Nearest Standard — The Closest Named Ratio

This column compares each row against a library of common named standards such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 21:9, and 1.91:1. Exact matches and near matches under two percent drift keep the standard label.

When a row is further away, the tool stops pretending and falls back to a custom ratio display. That makes it easy to spot inputs that should be normalized before delivery.

Padding-top — The CSS Responsive Value

Padding-top is calculated as height divided by width times 100. It is the classic fallback for responsive media wrappers and remains useful even when modern browsers support the aspect-ratio property directly.

Clicking a padding value copies it immediately, which makes this table practical for frontend work, design system documentation, and quick prototypes.

padding-top = (height / width) * 100
16:9 -> (9 / 16) * 100 = 56.25%

Match Quality — How Close The Nearest Label Really Is

Match Quality tells you whether a row is an exact standard, a near match caused by rounding, an approximate candidate, or a genuinely custom size. It is the fastest way to triage large delivery lists.

Use Exact and Near as safe production signals. Treat Approximate as a QA warning. Treat Custom as a sign that the asset does not map cleanly to a known standard and may need a separate template or export.

Use Cases

Who uses the batch converter?

The page is positioned as a workflow tool, not a novelty calculator. That means the strongest SEO angle is showing how different teams use batch conversion to clean, classify, and verify large sets of dimensions.

Designers

Cleaning up ad specs from clients

When a client sends a spreadsheet full of ad sizes, the first problem is usually classification. Some rows are standard placements, some are custom banners, and a few are one-off oddities that need special treatment. A batch converter turns that cleanup into one paste instead of a dozen manual checks.

The Nearest Standard and Match Quality columns help a design team separate exact standards from almost-right dimensions before any production time is spent on resizing or template work. The CSV export can go straight back into the client sheet or project brief.

Typical input list

300x250 -> 6:5, near 5:4

728x90 -> 364:45, custom leaderboard

160x600 -> 4:15, custom skyscraper

320x50 -> 32:5, custom mobile banner

Developers

Planning responsive media components

Frontend teams care about aspect ratios because ratio-aware placeholders reduce layout shift and make media cards predictable before images load. When a CMS exports dozens of image dimensions, checking them one at a time is pure waste.

The batch converter lets developers paste raw dimensions from a CMS, design handoff, or asset pipeline and immediately turn them into ratio labels, decimal values, and padding-top fallbacks. That is useful for React props, design-token files, or documentation tables.

const IMAGE_RATIOS = {
  hero: { ratio: "16:9", padding: "56.25%" },
  thumbnail: { ratio: "4:3", padding: "75%" },
  avatar: { ratio: "1:1", padding: "100%" },
  banner: { ratio: "3:1", padding: "33.33%" }
};

Video Teams

Pre-delivery asset verification

Before a delivery package goes out, motion and post-production teams need to verify that every export still matches the platform spec. A single off-by-one vertical export can trigger platform rejection or make a feed layout look wrong.

Paste a render list from Premiere Pro, After Effects, or Resolve into the tool and the exact-versus-near breakdown becomes obvious. That is especially useful when a package includes landscape masters, square variants, vertical cutdowns, and custom ad placements in the same handoff.

Typical verification list

1920x1080 -> exact 16:9

1080x1920 -> exact 9:16

1080x1080 -> exact 1:1

1080x1921 -> near 9:16

1200x628 -> exact 1.91:1

Marketing Teams

Auditing social media asset libraries

When a team inherits a brand asset library, the first challenge is understanding what is already there. Some images are standard feed posts, some are story crops, and some are old campaign leftovers with custom dimensions that no longer map cleanly to current placements.

A bulk ratio pass lets marketers categorize those files quickly, spot inconsistent output, and decide which creative assets can be reused without manual cropping. It also works well with CSV exports from digital asset management systems and spreadsheet audits.

Workflow Integration

Use the batch converter inside the tools your team already lives in

This section is a major differentiator. Most aspect ratio tools stop at the raw answer. This page shows how the output fits into spreadsheets, design reviews, Notion specs, and automated pipelines.

Google Sheets Integration

This is the most common workflow for operations, production, and marketing teams who keep asset dimensions in a shared spreadsheet.

Step 1: Select the width and height columns in your Google Sheet.

Step 2: Use a helper formula such as `=B2&"x"&C2` to combine each row into a `1920x1080` string.

Step 3: Copy the combined column and paste it into the batch converter.

Step 4: Review the output, then download CSV or copy the results back into the sheet.

You can calculate a raw ratio inside Sheets with `=TEXT(B2/GCD(B2,C2),"0")&":"&TEXT(C2/GCD(B2,C2),"0")`, but Sheets alone will not give you nearest standards, match quality, or CSS padding values.

Figma Integration

Design teams often need a fast ratio audit after a client changes frame sizes or when a handoff includes many artboards across channels.

Step 1: Select the frames you want to inspect in Figma.

Step 2: Copy or export the dimensions from Dev Mode, a plugin, or your design inventory notes.

Step 3: Paste that list into the converter to normalize ratios and spot odd sizes.

Step 4: Use Copy as Markdown to paste the findings into FigJam, a design review note, or a client delivery checklist.

This works best when the tool is used as a cleanup layer after design exploration. It is faster to normalize late than to manually scan dozens of frame sizes while designing.

Notion Integration

Notion databases often hold asset specs, campaign plans, and upload requirements, but they are weak at ratio classification when the source data is messy.

Step 1: Export the Notion database as CSV or copy the dimensions column directly.

Step 2: Paste the list into the batch converter.

Step 3: Copy the Markdown table if you want a clean version for a project doc or QA checklist.

Step 4: Paste the results back into Notion for a reusable spec reference.

Command Line / API Logic

Automated workflows do not need the web UI. The core parsing and ratio logic can be reproduced in a small script for CI checks, media pipelines, or CMS preprocessing.

Step 1: Parse each resolution string with a regex that accepts multiple separators.

Step 2: Simplify width and height with a greatest common divisor calculation.

Step 3: Compute decimal ratio, padding-top, and nearest named standard for every row.

Step 4: Emit CSV, JSON, or console output depending on your pipeline.

function gcd(a, b) {
  return b === 0 ? a : gcd(b, a % b);
}

function parseResolution(str) {
  const match = str.match(/^(\d+)\s*(?:[x×:,/]|\s+)\s*(\d+)$/i);
  if (!match) return null;
  return { w: Number.parseInt(match[1], 10), h: Number.parseInt(match[2], 10) };
}

function getAspectRatio(w, h) {
  const d = gcd(w, h);
  return {
    ratio: `${w / d}:${h / d}`,
    decimal: (w / h).toFixed(4),
    paddingTop: `${((h / w) * 100).toFixed(2)}%`
  };
}
from math import gcd
import re

def parse_resolution(value):
    match = re.match(r"^(\d+)\s*(?:[x×:,/]|\s+)\s*(\d+)$", value)
    return (int(match.group(1)), int(match.group(2))) if match else None

def aspect_ratio(width, height):
    divisor = gcd(width, height)
    return {
        "ratio": f"{width // divisor}:{height // divisor}",
        "decimal": round(width / height, 4),
        "padding_top": f"{(height / width) * 100:.2f}%"
    }

Standard Ratio Library

Supported standard aspect ratios

The Nearest Standard column compares each decimal value against this named ratio library. A green badge means an exact match. An amber badge means the input is within roughly two percent of a known standard. Beyond that, the tool keeps the row custom instead of forcing a misleading label.

How-To

How to use the batch aspect ratio converter

Step 1

Prepare your resolution list

Gather the dimensions you want to convert from a client sheet, CMS export, design handoff, or render queue. The tool accepts multiple separators, so you do not need to normalize the formatting first.

Step 2

Paste into the input box

Paste one resolution per line. Results appear immediately, so you can work iteratively instead of waiting for a manual submit.

Step 3

Review the output columns

Check Ratio, Decimal, Nearest Standard, Match Quality, and Padding-top to understand whether each row is exact, near, approximate, or fully custom.

Step 4

Fix invalid rows

Open the invalid row panel to see which lines failed and why. Common issues are a missing height, non-numeric characters, or zero values.

Step 5

Export or share the results

Download CSV for spreadsheets, copy CSV or Markdown for docs, or generate a share link to send the same batch to a teammate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many resolutions can I convert at once?

The batch converter processes up to 500 non-empty rows per session. That is usually enough for ad spec sheets, render queues, and asset audits. If your list is longer, split it into smaller batches and combine the CSV exports in a spreadsheet.

What input formats are supported?

The parser accepts lowercase x, the Unicode multiply sign, spaces, commas, colons, slashes, and tab-separated values. In practice that means you can paste strings like 1920x1080, 1920×1080, 1920 1080, 1920,1080, 1920:1080, and 1920/1080 without cleanup.

What does "Nearest Standard" mean?

The Nearest Standard column compares your decimal ratio against a library of common named ratios such as 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 21:9, and 1.91:1. Exact matches are shown in green, near matches under 2 percent drift are shown in amber, and more distant custom ratios stay neutral.

How is the CSV formatted?

The CSV export includes Input, Width, Height, Ratio, Decimal, Nearest Standard, Padding-top, and Match Quality. The download uses UTF-8 with a BOM so Microsoft Excel opens it correctly without an import wizard.

What is the padding-top value used for?

Padding-top is the classic responsive CSS fallback for fixed-ratio containers. The value is calculated as height divided by width times 100. For a 16:9 asset that becomes 56.25 percent. Modern CSS can use aspect-ratio directly, but the padding value is still useful for legacy support and design reference.

Can I share my results with a colleague?

Yes. The Share Link action encodes the current input into a URL-safe base64 string. Anyone who opens that link sees the same resolution list prefilled in the tool. Very long inputs still work, but the URL will become correspondingly longer.

How does the tool handle non-standard ratios?

If a resolution does not fall within the 2 percent near-match window of a named standard, the Nearest Standard column falls back to the row's true ratio shape rather than forcing a misleading label. That keeps custom banners, unusual crops, and odd platform exports honest.

Is there an API or command-line version?

There is no official hosted API. The Workflow Integration section includes JavaScript-ready logic that teams can port into scripts, CI jobs, or CMS preprocessors when they need automated batch checks.
