# Display Responsive iframe Maintaining Aspect Ratio modern way
Generally when rendering an iframe, you'll specify the `width` and `height`
properties to give it a fixed display size.
You can make the iframe responsively expand to the full width of its parent
while maintaining its aspect ratio using a little CSS.
1. First, remove the `width` and `height` properties.
2. Second, add a wrapping iframe container:
```html
<div class="iframe-container">
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7LDlUMMbv6k" ...></iframe>
</div>
```
3. Sprinkle on a little CSS to make it responsive:
```css
.iframe-container {
width: 100%;
aspect-ratio: 16 / 9;
}
```
