How to export a map animation in 4K
With Mappi Pro, click Export, set Quality to 4K and click Download. A landscape video renders at 3840 × 2160 pixels. 4K files take longer to render and are larger, so keep the tab open while it works.
Step by step
Open Export
Click Export in the top-right corner of the editor.
Choose 4K
Under Quality, select 4K. The summary reads “Ultra HD, largest file”.
Download in 4K
Click Download. 4K renders four times the pixels of 1080p, so it takes longer. Stay on the tab until the MP4 downloads.
4K sizes for each aspect ratio
| Aspect ratio | 4K size |
|---|---|
| 16:9 Landscape | 3840 × 2160 |
| 9:16 Vertical | 2160 × 3840 |
| 4:5 Portrait | 2160 × 2700 |
| 1:1 Square | 2160 × 2160 |
Is 4K worth it? Upload 4K when the video leans on fine map detail or will be cropped and zoomed in an editor. Platforms re-compress uploads, and starting from 4K keeps more detail after that.
