About This Tool

Matching aspect ratio between your reference photo and canvas is critical for the grid method. If ratios differ, proportions stretch or compress — ruining an otherwise accurate drawing.

Enter pixel dimensions or use presets for common formats like 16:9, 4:3, 3:2, and golden ratio. Lock ratio when resizing to calculate paired dimensions instantly.
