In the world of digital generative art, resolution is more than just pixel count—it's the definition of your creative intent. DeadPixel Studio utilizes a vector-based simulation engine relative to the screen, allowing us to export your creations at varied scales without quality loss. Understanding which resolution to choose for your export is key to getting the best result.
720p (HD) - The Drafting Format
Resolution: 1280 x 720 pixels (approx.)
720p is our most lightweight export option. Because the simulation must physically run frame-by-frame to generate the image, this format is lightning fast.
Best For:
- Social Media Stories: Perfect size for quick shares on platforms where compression is aggressive anyway.
- Rapid Prototyping: Quickly export multiple variations of a seed to compare color palettes before committing to a final render.
- Mobile Previews: Looks sharp on smaller phone screens without taking up significant storage space.
4K (Ultra HD) - The Gold Standard
Resolution: 3840 x 2160 pixels (approx.)
4K has become the industry standard for high-end digital displays. When you export in 4K, DeadPixel performs a high-fidelity re-simulation. The engine effectively runs the simulation on a virtual canvas four times the size of a standard HD screen.
Best For:
- Desktop Wallpapers: The ideal format for 27-inch monitors and modern laptops.
- Digital Art Portfolios: Provides enough detail for viewers to zoom in and see the intricacies of the particle trails.
- TV Displays: Looks stunning on modern OLED and QLED televisions.
8K (Super Hi-Vision) - The Professional Tier
Resolution: 7680 x 4320 pixels (approx.)
8K export is a computational brute force feature. It generates an image with over 33 million pixels—16 times the detail of 1080p HD. This process involves a meticulous re-simulation where millions of particles are tracked with sub-pixel precision.
Best For:
- Large Format Printing: Essential if you plan to print your artwork on canvas, metal, or acrylic at sizes larger than 24 inches. At 300 DPI, an 8K image can be printed at over 25 inches wide without losing sharpness.
- Zoom Crops: The immense resolution allows you to crop into small sections of the canvas to create entirely new "macro" abstract pieces.
- Archival Quality: Future-proof your artwork for the displays of tomorrow.
How It Works: Re-Simulation vs. Upscaling
Unlike traditional photo editing where resizing an image results in blurriness (upscaling), DeadPixel Studio uses deterministic re-simulation. When you request a high-res export, we don't just stretch the picture. We reset the mathematical seed and re-run the entire physics simulation on a larger virtual grid. This means your 8K export has genuine, calculated detail that never existed in the preview, ensuring razor-sharp lines and gradients at any scale.
