Change the Divi Gallery Image Aspect Ratio

Hey friends, I'm excited to share with you some very helpful CSS snippets to change the Divi image gallery aspect ratio. This will be fun!

Use Any Image Size or Shape!

Change Images to Square or Any Other Proportion

Everyone seems to love our other post on changing the image aspect ratio of Divi images, but that tutorial only shows how to do it on the Image Module. In this tutorial, we will be using the same math, same code, and the same process to change the Divi Gallery image aspect ratio using the Divi Gallery Module. You can soon be adding any combination of landscape, portrait, or odd sizes images to the gallery and they will automatically become uniform.

Explanation & Calculations

How To Force Divi Image Aspect Ratios

Most of us are familiar with image or video aspect ratios. Lots of times our devices are made to these proportions as well. The first number in the ratio is the width, and the second number is the height. As you can see in the CSS examples below, the CSS trick works with padding and uses a percentage. Basically, the percentage is the height divided by width. To calculate what percentage to use in the CSS for the Divi image gallery item aspect ratios, just use this math formula.

Divide the second number by the first number
Move the decimal over two places to the right
Add a percent sign

Square 1:1 – 1 / 1 = 1.00 = 100%
Landscape 16:9 – 9 / 16 = 0.5625 = 56.25%
Landscape 4:3 – 3 / 4 = 0.75 = 75%
Landscape 3:2 – 2 / 3 = 0.6667 = 66.67%
Portrait 9:16 – 16 /9 = 1.7778 = 177.78%
Portrait 3:4 – 4 / 3 = 1.3334 = 133.34%
Portrait 2:3 – 3 / 2 = 1.5 = 150%

Now you can use this formula for other sizes as well!

Examples & CSS Snippets

NOTE: Always be sure to add the correct class to the Divi Image Gallery Module so that it can change to the desired aspect ratio. In this tutorial, I kept it very simple! (Just take out the dot at the beginning.)
