FAQs About Changing Video Quality/Resolution
In some cases, you need to change video quality or resolution, upscaling or downscaling the videos. Here we collect some frequently asked questions about this topic, and hope they can be of some help.
4K vs. 1080P, Which Is Better?
Under circumstances like when you need to check the specs of some products such as a camera or recording hardware, or software like the media players, you may need to compare between 4K VS Full HD 1080p.
Edit Without Quality Loss
Except for the video quality, another distinguishing difference between 1080p and 4K refers to their editable feature. Unlike 1080p footage, 4K can be edited such as zooming in/out, cropped, or reframed without any quality loss. This feature makes 4K resolution an ideal choice for those who need to edit videos but keep their original quality.
Resolution
Video resolution means the number of pixels that would be included in each frame of the video. The higher resolution a video has, the more realistic it will perceive.

Hence, 4K videos are actually containing more pixels, which also makes the videos to be more realistic in looking, contributing to higher quality for people to enjoy.
Compatibility
Another important difference between 1080p and 4K should be their compatibility. As 1080p is the most popular video resolution on the market, 4K brings evolved experience but it is not supported on all platforms yet. In most cases, videos for uploading to YouTube and other social media platforms for sharing are created in 1080p quality, only very few of them would be uploaded in 4K resolution.
