Resolution Impact on Size and Clarity
Updated: 12/15/2025
Resolution Impact
Bitrate needs
Lower resolution needs less bitrate
Helps reduce file size
Use cases
Social: 720p often enough
Email: 480p for size limits
Archive: keep original
Tips
Scale with good filters
Avoid unnecessary downscaling
Check text/readability
