How it works
- Read the spec card at the top to get the essential 8K numbers at a glance.
- Enter your screen diagonal in inches to calculate the pixel density (PPI) for any 8K display.
- Use the comparison table to see how 8K stacks up against 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 4K.
- Check the bitrate and file size tables for encoding guidance across platforms and codecs.
- Click any row in the Copy Spec panel to copy that value directly to your clipboard.
Use cases
- Choosing an export resolution for 8K-capable video platforms and future-proof archival.
- Verifying pixel density (PPI) for an 8K monitor or TV before purchase.
- Setting FFmpeg, DaVinci Resolve, or other NLE encoding parameters for 8K output.
- Comparing storage requirements across 1080p, 4K, and 8K for a production project.
- Understanding 8K gaming requirements and the GPU performance impact vs 4K.
- Teaching or explaining 8K resolution concepts to students or clients.
- Planning bandwidth and CDN infrastructure for an 8K live stream or VOD service.
- Confirming whether a camera, capture card, or display truly supports 8K before purchase.
