An iframe, or inline frame, is an HTML element used to embed another document or webpage within the current document. Responsive iframes can be achieved by defining the aspect ratio, which refers to the proportional relationship between the width and height of an element. To maintain the aspect ratio we will use padding-top Property.
Syntax
To calculate the aspect ratio for 16:9 ( 9/ 16 *100 = 56.25), Use 56.25% as a value to the CSS property padding-top.
padding-top: 56.25%; /* 16:9 Aspect Ratio */
padding-top: 75%; /* 4:3 Aspect Ratio */
padding-top: 66.66%; /* 3:2 Aspect Ratio */
padding-top: 62.5%; /* 8:5 Aspect Ratio */
