What does resolution mean?

Resolution describes the number of pixels across an image or video frame. A 1920 × 1080 image contains 2,073,600 pixels, or about 2.07 megapixels.

How to calculate megapixels

Multiply the width by the height to get the total number of pixels. Divide that result by one million to get megapixels. The calculator does this automatically for any dimensions you enter.

Common video resolutions

The presets include 720p, Full HD 1080p, QHD 1440p, 4K UHD, DCI 4K, 5K and 8K UHD, plus vertical versions used for mobile content. These are useful reference points when planning exports, displays and digital campaigns.

Common photo resolutions

Photography does not always use standard video dimensions. The calculator therefore also includes common 3:2 and 4:3 camera resolutions such as 3000 × 2000, 4000 × 3000, 4032 × 3024, 6000 × 4000 and 6720 × 4480.

Resolution and aspect ratio

Resolution and aspect ratio are related but not identical. Two images can have different pixel dimensions while sharing the same aspect ratio. Use the Aspect Ratio Calculator when you need to check the proportions of a specific resolution.
