The 4:3 aspect ratio was the standard for monitors, televisions, and cameras for decades. Today it is used for standard photography prints, older monitors, some presentations, and many photo sharing contexts where a balanced horizontal format is needed.
Common 4:3 Image Dimensions
| Resolution | Dimensions |
|---|---|
| VGA | 640×480 px |
| XGA | 1024×768 px |
| HD 4:3 | 1440×1080 px |
| Print 4×3 inch | 1200×900 px (at 300 DPI) |

When 4:3 is the Right Choice

- Product photography where a square-ish format suits the subject
4:3 vs 16:9 — Which Should You Use?
Use 16:9 for modern widescreen content including YouTube, presentations on modern hardware, and most web banners. Use 4:3 for standard photo prints, older projection systems, and photography intended for print. When in doubt, 4:3 works well for most photography contexts where no platform-specific ratio is required.
