Increase Video Resolution from 480p, 720p to 1080p, 4K Even 8K without Losing Quality

Part 1: What Are the Different Video Resolution Standards

When it comes to digital video, a resolution standard is determined by the number of pixels (small squares of digital information) that are displayed on the width of a computer monitor or a display device. The most common numbers for video resolution are 720p, 1080p, 4K, 8K. But what do these numbers actually mean? Let's see instructions below.

• 720 resolution (HD)

720p = 1280 x 720 - is usually known as HD or "HD Ready" resolution. It still can be an acceptable resolution for smaller web content.

• 1080 resolution (full HD)

1080p = 1920 x 1080 - is usually known as FHD or "Full HD" resolution. It has become the industry standard for a crisp HD digital video that doesn’t break your storage space. This is also a common screen resolution for smartphones.

• 2K resolution or QHD (quad high definition)

The next steps up are QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels) or 2K resolution (2048 x 1080 pixels). These formats provide more room for image edits, larger displays and reframing without lost quality.

• 4K resolution (ultra HD)

3840 x 2160 pixels (4K UHD), or 4096 x 2160 pixels (DCI 4K), is a very large display resolution and it's found on high-end TVs and monitors.

• 8K resolution

8K = 7680 x 4320 - is known as 8K. It offers 16 times more pixels than the regular 1080p FHD or "Full HD" resolution.

Part 3: FAQs about Increasing Video Resolution

Here we are going to talk about the most frequently asked questions about video resolution.

Q1. Which Resolution Should You Use

The best way to determine which resolution you should use is to consider your content and who you’re sharing it with. If you’re creating content for social media, standard definition resolutions like 480p and 720p will be more than enough. If you’re planning on uploading your videos to YouTube, then you’ll need to shoot in high definition.

Q2. Video Resolution and File Size

The more pixels in your video, the larger the file size will be. This means that a high-resolution video file will take up more space on your computer than a standard-definition file would. Most computers come with enough storage to store many high-quality video files. But if you’re creating videos for commercial purposes or have tons of video footage, you may need to invest in additional storage. If you’re shooting video on your computer, the resolution of your screen will affect the size of your video footage. For instance, if you’re editing video on a 1080p monitor, your video footage will be captured at that resolution. But if you’re editing on a 4K monitor, your footage will be captured at 4K. This will result in larger video files, which may consume more space on your hard drive.

Q3.Tips for Improving Video Quality and Resolution

When it comes to video, you won’t always be able to control the lighting of the scene. However, there are ways to make your video look better when you can’t control the lighting. You can increase the shutter speed to reduce motion blur, or you can use a tripod to eliminate unwanted movement. If you’re shooting indoors, you can use artificial light sources to improve the look of your video.
