# Aspect Ratios

**The `--aspect` parameter changes the aspect ratio of the generated image. An aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of an image. It is typically expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, such as 7:4 or 4:3.**

A square image has equal width and height, described as a 1:1 aspect ratio. The image could be 1000px × 1000px, or 1500px × 1500px, and the aspect ratio would still be 1:1. A computer screen might have a ratio of 16:10. The width is 1.6 times longer than the height. So the image could be 1600px × 1000px, 4000px × 2000px, 320px x 200px, etc.

{% hint style="info" %}

* The default aspect ratio is 1:1.
* `--`**`aspect`**must use whole numbers. Use 139:100 instead of 1.39:1.
* The first number represents width, while the second number represents height. For portrait (tall) images, the second number should be larger. For landscape (wide) images, the first number should be larger.
* The aspect ratio impacts the shape and composition of a generated image.
* Some aspect ratios may be slightly changed when upscaling.

Extremely wide and tall aspect ratios are experimental and may produce unpredictable results.

**Common Low Content Aspect Ratios**

`--aspect 1:1` Default aspect ratio.\
`--aspect 2:3` Common for books.\
