Search / Filter Photos based on Aspect Ratio

Is there a way to search for / filter photos based on their Aspect Ratio?


I'm trying to create a system, that, ideally, will add any photo in 16:9 aspect ratio to a Wallpaper smart album for my Mac and Apple TV.


I've looked through the smart album filters, but can seem to find one related to aspect ratio. Is there a search term/command I can use instead?

No, Photos does not allow to search by the aspect ratio.

If your 16:9 photos have been taken with a certain camera, you could search for the camera model.


Or write an apple Script, that will find photos with a certain aspect ratio. Here is a sample script, that distributes photos across albums, based on the aspect Ratio: Script: Sort Panoramic-Landscape-Portrait-Square Photos 2019 Version
