aspect-ratio

The aspect-ratio CSS media feature can be used to test the aspect ratio of the viewport.

Syntax

The aspect-ratio feature is specified as a <ratio> value representing the width-to-height aspect ratio of the viewport. It is a range feature, meaning you can also use the prefixed min-aspect-ratio and max-aspect-ratio variants to query minimum and maximum values, respectively.

Examples

The example below is contained in an <iframe>, which creates its own viewport. Resize the <iframe> to see aspect-ratio in action.

HTML

<div id='inner'>
  Watch this element as you resize your viewport's width and height.
</div>

CSS

/* Minimum aspect ratio */
@media (min-aspect-ratio: 8/5) {
  div {
    background: #9af; /* blue */
  }
}

/* Maximum aspect ratio */
@media (max-aspect-ratio: 3/2) {
  div {
    background: #9ff;  /* cyan */
  }
}

/* Exact aspect ratio, put it at the bottom to avoid override*/
@media (aspect-ratio: 1/1) {
  div {
    background: #f9a; /* red */
  }
}

<label id="wf" for="w">width:165</label>
<input id="w" name="w" type="range" min="100" max="250" step="5" value="165">
<label id="hf" for="w">height:165</label>
<input id="h" name="h" type="range" min="100" max="250" step="5" value="165">

<iframe id="outer" src="data:text/html,<style> @media (min-aspect-ratio: 8/5) { div { background: %239af; } } @media (max-aspect-ratio: 3/2) { div { background: %239ff; } } @media (aspect-ratio: 1/1) { div { background: %23f9a; } }</style><div id='inner'> Watch this element as you resize your viewport's width and height.</div>">

</iframe>

iframe{
  display:block;
}

outer.style.width=outer.style.height="165px"

w.onchange=w.oninput=function(){
  outer.style.width=w.value+"px"
  wf.textContent="width:"+w.value
}
h.onchange=h.oninput=function(){
  outer.style.height=h.value+"px"
  hf.textContent="height:"+h.value
}
