Questions

What aspect ratio is 1024x768?

1024 × 768 is 4:3 (1.333:1). Dividing both sides by their greatest common divisor, 256, gives 4 and 3. That is exactly 4:3.

How do I resize 1024x768 without distortion?

Keep the ratio at 4:3: new height = new width × 3 ÷ 4. Dividing both sides by 2, 4 or 8 keeps whole pixels, for example 128 × 96 at ÷8.

What is 1024x768 cropped to 9:16?

A centered 9:16 crop of 1024 × 768 is 432 × 768, which keeps 42.2% of the image. Padding it to 9:16 instead gives a 1024 × 1820 canvas with 1,052 px of bars. That canvas is rounded, not exactly 9:16: the exact padded side would be 1820.44 px tall. The smallest exact 9:16 canvas around it is 1026 × 1824.
