Definition
4K export refers to rendering and saving video at 3840×2160 pixel resolution (also called 4K UHD or 2160p), which provides four times the pixel count of standard 1080p HD. 4K has become the professional standard for video content: YouTube, Vimeo, and streaming platforms all support 4K playback, and audiences increasingly expect high-resolution content — especially on large screens, smart TVs, and high-DPI mobile displays. Exporting in 4K also provides future-proofing, as the source files retain maximum quality even as display technology continues to improve. Many video editors restrict 4K export to paid tiers: Descript requires the Creator plan ($24–$35/mo), Kapwing limits free exports to 720p, and Veed restricts resolution on lower tiers. The ability to export in 4K for free is a significant differentiator.
