What is the aspect ratio for landscape video?

• A. 16:9
• B. 9:16
• C. 1:1
• D. 2:3

Answer: (A)

Aspect ratio describes how wide a video is compared to its height. For landscape video, the width is greater than the height, and the widely used standard is 16:9, meaning 16 units wide for every 9 units tall. This matches most screens and playback platforms, from TVs to computer monitors and YouTube, giving a true landscape frame. The other ratios aren’t aligned with landscape orientation: 9:16 is tall and meant for portrait viewing; 1:1 is square; 2:3 is a common photo ratio and not the standard for landscape video. So 16:9 is the best choice because it reflects the typical widescreen landscape format used for video content.
