Video Converter: Convert 4K to 1080P Video on Computer
The 4K is a new resolution standard designed for digital cinemas and computer graphics. It has the following advantages: higher image sharpness, finer picture, better fast motion performance, and larger image visibility. The 4K video means the video has 4096 x 2160 pixels resolution, which is equivalent with Ultra HD video technically.
In as much the 4K video is more eye-delightful, why would we need to downscale the resolution? To play 4K videos, viewers need to prepare a costly 4K TV, while to play 1080P video, viewers just use their playback devices they already have like phones, tablets or computers. On this account, those people could convert 4K video to 1080P for money-saving playback.

After you have ripped 4K video to 1080P video by using the f2fsoft Video Converter software, apart from more choice of playback devices available to play the converted 1080P video, there are other three merits for you.
1. Save storage space on the computer.
A downloaded 4K movie takes up at least 50G, however, a 1080P movie takes up no more than 2G. (If you still want to save more storage space on your computer, you can burn 4K films to Blu-ray disc.) Then you can delete the movie and free the computer memory.
2. Edit video successfully, get a personalized video.
You could edit a 1080P video easily, such as adjusting the video frame, eliminating video soundtrack, adding stickers and interesting background music, but you may fail to edit 4K video by using the video editing software.
3. Upload video to sites for sharing.
Because the 4K video is not compatible with some sites, like Instagram, Myspace, etc, you can’t upload the 4K video to them. Since MP4 is accepted by most social networking platforms, so you are allowed to upload MP4 video with 1080P resolution to them.
