| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ratio | number | 1 | Width divided by height, e.g. 16 / 9. |
| variant | "plain" | "well" | "plain" | Plain is an invisible box; well is a recessed frame for media. |
| asChild | boolean | false | Render the inner box as the child element. |
| className | string | - | Merged after the default overflow-hidden on the inner box. |
Build notes
Radix renders two divs: an outer wrapper with `position: relative; width: 100%; padding-bottom: (100 / ratio)%`, and the inner element (which gets our `data-slot` and className) at `position: absolute; inset: 0`. Percentage padding resolves against the parent's width, which is what locks the ratio; this works everywhere, unlike relying on the CSS `aspect-ratio` property for replaced content in older engines. We add `overflow-hidden` by default so rounded corners clip the media; className overrides it. Children usually take `size-full object-cover`. **Pebble (2026-11-03).** New optional `variant`; `well` adds `rounded-xl bg-muted ring-1 ring-hairline inset-shadow-xs` for empty media slots, and the root carries `data-variant`. Radix puts the ratio on the outer wrapper's inline `padding-bottom`, so a parent can animate a ratio change with `motion-safe:*:transition-[padding-bottom] *:duration-(--motion-base) *:ease-move`; the component itself stays static. The demo has no gradient art: a drawn SVG trail map (`preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice"`, so it crops to any ratio) under a 16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 switcher, a `well` empty state, and fixed 3:4 and 21:9 crops of the same map. <!-- PEBBLE-LICENSE -->
