READY-TO-USE IMAGE TOOL
Crop to a cinematic 2.39:1 frame.
The widescreen look reads instantly: crop a 16:9 photo to 2.39:1 and it feels like a film still. The crop tool below is preset to an exact 2.39:1 frame (2390 × 1000); drag the frame to choose what survives.
This is an exact mathematical ratio, not a platform upload requirement. Your image stays in this browser.
Find the ratio
Enter your pixel dimensions. Whole-number dimensions reduce to an exact ratio.
Match a ratio
Set one dimension to find the other without stretching.
Matching height: 1000 px
Matching width: enter a height
Calculated values may have fractional pixels. Round to whole pixels when exporting a raster image.

No upload. The image never leaves your device; nothing is saved by this site.
Put this frame to work
From a 4000 × 3000 photo, an exact 2.39:1 crop is 4000 × 1673 pixels. Shooting wider than you need leaves room: the crop decides the composition, so keep heads and horizons away from edges you may later remove.
Resizing preserves a source image's shape; cropping removes edges to fit a different one. Download the crop as PNG or JPEG above.
Cinematic crops from common sources
| Source size | 2.39:1 crop | Pixels kept |
|---|---|---|
| 1920 × 1080 | 1920 × 803 | 74 percent |
| 4000 × 3000 | 4000 × 1673 | 56 percent |
| 1080 × 1350 | 1080 × 452 | 33 percent |
| 6000 × 4000 | 6000 × 2510 | 63 percent |
Each crop keeps the full source width and trims height to width ÷ 2.39.
Frequently asked questions
Is 2.39:1 the same as 21:9?
No. 21:9 is 2.33:1, and most “21:9” monitors are actually 64:27, about 2.37:1. Cinema scope is 2.39:1, slightly wider still.
How do I get cinematic black bars?
Crop to 2.39:1 for a scope frame, or pad the image onto a wider canvas with the change-ratio tool, which adds background instead of removing pixels.
What size does the Cinematic aspect ratio page start with?
The calculator and crop frame start at 2390 × 1000 pixels, which reduces to 239:100. You can type any other width and height.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is decoded and exported in your browser, so no image data is sent to a server.
Which image formats can I use?
Choose a PNG or JPEG image, and download the result as PNG or JPEG.
Can I crop to a different ratio?
Yes. The crop ratio menu offers 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 9:16, 21:9 and 3:2, and the calculator accepts any width and height.
