Low Resolution 16:9 Canvas Sizes
This post was last updated June 2023. Computer hardware changes, and this note may not be up to date.
A table of low resolution 16:9 canvas sizes that scale by integer factors to common desktop and TV display sizes.
A few canvas sizes in the table won’t scale to 6K, but 6K monitors aren’t that common, so I’m including them anyway.
Canvas | Scaling | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Width | Height | 720p | 1080p | 1440p | 4K | 5K | 6K | 8K |
16 | 9 | 80× | 120× | 160× | 240× | 320× | 384× | 480× |
32 | 18 | 40× | 60× | 80× | 120× | 160× | 192× | 240× |
64 | 36 | 20× | 30× | 40× | 60× | 80× | 96× | 120× |
80 | 45 | 16× | 24× | 32× | 48× | 64× | 76.8× | 96× |
128 | 72 | 10× | 15× | 20× | 30× | 40× | 48× | 60× |
160 | 90 | 8× | 12× | 16× | 24× | 32× | 38.4× | 48× |
320 | 180 | 4× | 6× | 8× | 12× | 16× | 19.2× | 24× |
640 | 360 | 2× | 3× | 4× | 6× | 8× | 9.6× | 12× |
Whether using a fixed 16:9 canvas size is the right solution is a different question; what about laptop, tablet, or mobile screens?
