What a 4:3 image looks like
A 4:3 image has four units of width for every three units of height, so it is a landscape frame. The crop tool starts with this wider shape and lets you move it to select a different part of the source.
Common 4:3 pixel sizes
| Dimensions | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|
| 800 × 600 | 4:3 |
| 1200 × 900 | 4:3 |
| 1600 × 1200 | 4:3 |
| 2048 × 1536 | 4:3 |
Reframing a portrait source to 4:3
A portrait source has a taller shape than the locked landscape frame, so a 4:3 crop may remove content near the top and bottom. Position the frame around the important area. It does not stretch the source or add empty borders; resize separately if an exact output size is needed.

Limitations
- A portrait or square source may lose content outside the 4:3 frame; crop changes composition rather than adding pixels or stretching the image.
Questions
Is 4:3 a landscape image ratio?
Yes. Four units of width by three units of height makes a 4:3 frame wider than it is tall.
Which dimensions match 4:3?
800 × 600, 1200 × 900, 1600 × 1200, and 2048 × 1536 pixels are examples of 4:3 dimensions.
What happens if I crop a portrait image to 4:3?
The landscape frame may remove parts near the top and bottom. Move it to keep the important content before applying the crop.
Does cropping to 4:3 resize my image?
Cropping changes the visible area and output pixel dimensions follow the selected source area. Use the resize tool separately when you need exact dimensions.
Will a 4:3 crop stretch or add borders?
No. It selects a 4:3 area from the source and removes pixels outside it; it does not stretch the image or add padding.
Is my image uploaded to make a 4:3 crop?
No. The crop runs locally in your browser and does not require sending the image to an image-processing server.
