# Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio property in Yoga has the following properties:

- Accepts any floating point value > 0, the default is undefined.
- Defined as the ratio between the [width](/docs/styling/width-height) and the [height](/docs/styling/width-height) of a node e.g. if a node has an aspect ratio of 2 then its [width](/docs/styling/width-height) is twice the size of its [height](/docs/styling/width-height).
- Respects the [min](/docs/styling/min-max-width-height) and [max](/docs/styling/min-max-width-height) dimensions of an item.
- Has higher priority than [flex grow](/docs/styling/flex-basis-grow-shrink)
- If aspect ratio, [width](/docs/styling/width-height), and [height](/docs/styling/width-height) are set then the cross axis dimension is overridden.
