What is the 4:3 Aspect Ratio?

The 4:3 aspect ratio is a rectangle that's a little wider than it is tall. For every 4 inches across, it's 3 inches tall. Old TVs and computer monitors used this shape, so it can give a cozy, old‑school feeling to videos and photos.

Today, most TVs and phones use a wider 16:9 ratio, but 4:3 is still very common. Many tablets, including Apple's iPads, have 4:3 screens because the shape feels natural for reading, browsing the web, and looking at photos. That means you might be using a 4:3 screen every day without even knowing it!

Where You Still See 4:3 Today

You might think 4:3 is only for old stuff, but it's still everywhere:

iPads and tablets: Apple's standard iPad screen is 4:3 because it feels like holding a book. Great for drawing, reading, and schoolwork.
Retro games and videos: Classic video game consoles and old TV shows were designed for 4:3. Many people keep this shape to enjoy them the way they were meant to be seen.
Some digital cameras: Certain medium‑format and compact cameras shoot in 4:3, giving your photos a slightly taller, more intimate look than 3:2.

So even in a world of ultra‑wide screens, the simple 4:3 rectangle still has a comfy home in our pockets and backpacks.
