What is video resolution?

Video resolution is one of the important indicators of image quality and detail. Resolution refers to the number of picture elements (pixels) on a video screen, or the horizontal and vertical dimensions of an image, and is usually expressed in the form “width x height.” For example, 1920 x 1080 represents a resolution of 1920 pixels in width and 1080 pixels in height. The higher the resolution, the more detailed, crisp and attractive your images and videos will be. Low-resolution content lacks detail and can cause images to appear blurry or grainy. Common video resolutions include:

SD (Standard Definition):720 x 480 pixels (480p) or 720 x 576 pixels.
HD (High Definition):A common HD resolution is 1280 x 720 (720p), which provides sharp images.
Full HD:The resolution is 1920 x 1080 (1080p), and because 1920 is approximately 2000, it is also called 2K.
4K (Ultra High Definition, UHD):840 x 2160 pixels or 4096 x 2160 pixels.
8K:7680 x 4320 pixels.

How to increase video resolution

There are two ways to increase the video resolution.

Simply adjust the output file resolution significantly using video conversion software or video editing software
Up-convert videos using specialized AI upscaling software From now on, we will explain these two methods in detail.

Simply adjust the resolution of the output file by using video conversion/editing software

Generally, when you do video conversion or video editing work, you can also customize the output file resolution. You can increase the resolution of the video by using such software and setting the output video resolution to a large value.

Advantages

Can increase resolution faster
Video resolution can be increased even on low-spec computers
Detailed customization such as resolution, bit rate, codec, frame rate, etc. is possible
You can also convert and edit videos

Disadvantage Since the resolution is simply increased significantly, the level of detail does not increase. You can’t expect sharpness or lossless upscaling. Images may appear blurry or pixelated

Upconvert videos using specialized AI upscaling software

Additionally, in recent years, there has been an increasing need to upconvert old videos and low-resolution videos saved from the internet, and upscaling software that utilizes AI is widely used for this purpose. AI-based upconversion offers better quality than traditional upscaling methods and is emerging as a useful tool for sharply enhancing low-resolution content.Advantages

It is possible to increase the resolution of videos without deterioration. Furthermore, it is possible to improve the quality of videos
Specializes in specific video types and can provide optimal results for different needs, such as realistic videos and animations.

Disadvantage

Low-spec computers may not be able to support AI upscaling.
Since the level of detail is generated by AI, it takes time to process.

Summary

Above, we introduced how to increase the video resolution.

Using AI-powered upscaling software:UniFab, you can increase the resolution of your videos and improve the image quality as well.

If you increase the resolution of the output file using video converter software, you can increase the resolution of the video quickly.

Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, so choose according to your needs.
