4:5 Portrait Calculator

4:5 portrait — Instagram’s tallest feed frame and the classic poster shape. Get the exact partner dimension.

4:5 (0.8:1) portrait maximizes vertical space in the Instagram feed — 1080×1350 fills the screen taller than a square without getting cropped the way 9:16 does in feed. Posters at 8×10, 16×20 and 24×30 are the same ratio family. Solve from width or height and export without surprise crops.

1920 × 2400

Exact ratio: 4:5 · CSS: aspect-ratio: 4 / 5 · padding-top fallback: 125.00%

Formula

height = width × 5 ÷ 4

width = height × 4 ÷ 5

// padding-top fallback: 125.00% — keeps layout stable before the image loads

aspect-ratio: 4 / 5 — modern replacement for the padding hack

When to use 4:5

Pitfalls to avoid

CSS snippet

Modern:

.frame { aspect-ratio: 4 / 5; width: 100%; overflow: hidden; }
.frame > img { width: 100%; height: 100%; object-fit: cover; }

Legacy padding hack (for very old browsers):

.wrap { position: relative; width: 100%; padding-top: 125.00%; }
.wrap > * { position: absolute; inset: 0; }

Pair with object-fit: contain to letterbox without cropping, or cover to fill and crop safely.
