What 4K (3840×2160) Is For

4K UHD is 3840 × 2160 px, about 8.3 megapixels: a 16:9 ratio with four times the pixels of Full HD (1920×1080). It's the native resolution of most 4K monitors and TVs, so a 4K image fills the screen with crisp detail. Common uses: • Wallpapers for 4K monitors, laptops and TVs • 4K video projects and editing timelines • High-resolution displays, digital signage and print previews • Detailed graphics where you want maximum sharpness Start big (this matters most for 4K): • 4K only looks sharp if your source is large enough. For a genuinely crisp result your photo should be at least ~8 MP (around 3840×2160 or larger). A typical phone photo, 12 MP and up, is plenty; a small web image is not. • Enlarging a smaller image to 3840×2160 can't add real detail, so it looks soft. We show a warning whenever an image is being upscaled. How to use this page: • "Fill" crops your photo to a clean 16:9 at 4K • Tap "Adjust" for 1440p or Full HD, or enter any custom size

Frequently asked questions

What resolution is 4K?
4K UHD is 3840 × 2160 px (about 8.3 MP), a 16:9 ratio with four times the pixels of Full HD (1920×1080).
Why does my 4K image look soft?
If your original photo was smaller than 3840×2160, enlarging it to 4K can't add real detail, so it looks soft. Start from a larger photo for a sharp result. We show a warning when an image is being upscaled.
What size photo do I need for a sharp 4K image?
At least 3840 × 2160 px, which is about 8.3 megapixels. Most modern phone and camera photos (12 MP and up) clear that easily. If your source is smaller, the tool still scales it to 4K, but it will look soft and you'll see an upscale warning.
