Calculation Formula

Blow Up Ratio = Desired Size / Original Size

Where:
Blow Up Ratio - The scaling factor needed to transform the original size to the desired size
Desired Size - The final size you want to achieve
Original Size - The initial size of the object

Blow Up Ratio Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Blow Up Ratio Calculator and understand its applications

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the Original Size of your object (the initial size before scaling)
  2. Enter the Desired Size of your object (the final size you want to achieve)
  3. Select the appropriate Units for your measurements (Metric, Imperial, or US Customary)
  4. Click the Calculate button to determine the blow up ratio
  5. The calculator will display the exact ratio and the percentage increase needed

Understanding Blow Up Ratio

The blow up ratio is a dimensionless number that represents how much larger (or smaller) the final object will be compared to the original. It's calculated by dividing the desired size by the original size.

Applications

This calculator is useful in various fields:

  • Graphic Design: Scaling images while maintaining proportions
  • Manufacturing: Creating scaled models or prototypes
  • Art: Enlarging or reducing canvas sizes
  • Photography: Determining the magnification needed for printing
  • Architectural Modeling: Creating scale models of buildings

Example

Suppose you have a drawing that is 5 cm wide and you want to enlarge it to 15 cm wide. The blow up ratio would be:

Ratio = 15 cm / 5 cm = 3

This means you need to blow up the drawing by 3 times, which is a 200% increase.
