## What is x2y?

Sure, we all know how to cross-multiply. But if you do lots of resizing calculations every day, you can save yourself hours with this simple application. 

x2y is a beautifully simple aspect ratio calculator for the iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Built for designers and web developers who need to resize images and videos in code, x2y calculates dimensions and percentages for you automatically. Just choose the original aspect ratio or size, enter one of the new desired dimensions or a percentage, and the missing dimension(s) will be calculated instantly. 

• Choose from a list of common aspect ratios for even faster calculations. 
• Customize the list of common aspect ratios to include your own.
• Swap the x and y coordinates as needed with a single tap
• Double or triple the dimensions of your outputed images with a single tap. (Great for figuring out those @2x and @3x dimensions quickly.)
• Half or one-third the dimensions of your outputed images with a single long tap. 
• Solve for either x or y dimension.
• Solve for a particular percentage.
• Solve for diagonal of both ratios
• Round to the nearest pixel, or show up to three decimal places, for more precise results. 
• On iPad, choose left or right handed layouts, for better placement of commonly used interface controls.
• Select from several different color themes, to suit your preference
• Sync your custom aspects, selected theme, and more, between all your iOS devices over iCloud.

x2y conforms to the size of your screen. It is fully compliant with Voice Over for the visually impaired.

### 3/5 — Need more decimal  for precision

*2024-12-14, version 5.0.2*

Hi! I’ve noticed the app’s conversions could be more precise by including more decimal places. Additionally, it would be helpful if there was an option to input fractions directly (like 3/8 or 5/8) and get results based on those inputs. This would make the app more versatile and accurate. Thanks for considering this

### 5/5 — The best I’ve tried

*2021-10-09*

And I’ve tried a bunch. 

I do animation and print work, and have to figure out aspect ratios all the time. This makes it much easier.

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful.

*2016-12-22*

x2y is super helpful, beautiful, and easy to use. I use it to calculate dimensions on images for use in web design. 

I have always been poor at math so this app saves me a lot of time.

### 5/5 — Best in class

*2015-07-02*

Clean and polished.  This little app does all I need it to do without any friction.

### 5/5 — The best in its category

*2014-06-26*

X2Y is easy to use and helps me resize images very quickly.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2014-05-21*

I use this app several times a week. Any time I need to scale up or down a video, this is the perfect tool for that. When you put videos into word press like from Vimeo or YouTube, sometimes the <div> forces a different size of video than you intended causing black bars to be either on the sides or top and bottom of the video. By using this aspect ratio calculator, you then can resize the video easily without guessing what the final result will look like. This is a simple but straight forward tool that has made this process easy and effortless.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-05-06, version 1.5*

x2y solves a specific problem (aspect ratio calculations) really well. It's obvious this app was put together with a great deal of care; and the end result is a tool that both helps you work faster, but also a tool that's a pleasure to use. The iPad version uses an asymmetrical layout that has accommodation for both left-handed and right-handed users.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-10-21*

Such a great tool.
