Complete List of All 16:9 Resolutions — SD to 16K UHD

The 16:9 aspect ratio has become the standard for digital displays, offering a balanced and immersive viewing experience. This guide provides a complete list of every 16:9 resolution from standard definition all the way up to 16K UHD — useful for video editing, display configuration, and game development.

What Are the Standard 16:9 Resolutions?

These are the four most common 16:9 resolutions, widely supported by devices and content platforms:

Name	Resolution	Common Name
720p	1280 × 720	HD Ready
1080p	1920 × 1080	Full HD
1440p	2560 × 1440	QHD / 2K
2160p	3840 × 2160	4K UHD

• 720p (HD Ready) — The baseline HD resolution. Used in budget monitors, streaming at lower quality, and older game consoles.
• 1080p (Full HD) — The most widely used resolution for TVs, monitors, streaming, and gaming. The sweet spot for performance and quality.
• 1440p (QHD) — Popular with PC gamers and productivity monitors. A noticeable step up from 1080p without the GPU demands of 4K.
• 2160p (4K UHD) — The premium standard for modern TVs, high-end monitors, and flagship phones. Four times the pixels of 1080p.

Which 16:9 Resolutions Does YouTube Use?

YouTube recommends uploading in these 16:9 resolutions for the best playback experience:

Resolution	Quality Label
426 × 240	240p

5K to 8K (5120×2880 to 7664×4311)

Ultra-high resolutions for professional displays, Apple Pro Display XDR (5K), and 8K TVs.

Width	×	Height	Name
5120	×	2880	5K UHD+
5136	×	2889

7680	×	4320	8K UHD

Note: The full list between 5K and 8K contains 160 resolutions in 16-pixel increments. The key named resolutions are shown above. For the complete list, every resolution follows the pattern: width increases by 16, height increases by 9.

Beyond 8K (7680×4320 to 15360×8640)

Experimental and future-facing resolutions used in research, simulation, and digital cinema.

Width	×	Height	Name
7680	×	4320	8K UHD
8192	×	4608	True 8K
10240	×	5760	10K
12288	×	6912	12K
12800	×	7200
15360	×	8640	16K UHD

The complete list from 8K to 16K contains 480 resolutions. Every resolution follows the same pattern: width is a multiple of 16, height is the corresponding multiple of 9.

How to Calculate Any 16:9 Resolution

Every 16:9 resolution follows a simple formula:

• Width = 16 × n
• Height = 9 × n

Where n is any positive integer. For example, n=120 gives 1920×1080 (Full HD), and n=240 gives 3840×2160 (4K UHD).

Total Pixel Count by Resolution

For reference, here's how the pixel count scales across the major 16:9 resolutions:

Resolution	Total Pixels	Relative to 1080p
1280 × 720	921,600	0.44x
1920 × 1080	2,073,600	1x
