Should I Use 2K or 4K for Wedding Photos?
The answer depends entirely on what you plan to do with the image. 2K resolution works well for digital uses — social media posts, email invitations, wedding websites, and preview comparisons. 4K resolution is needed when you plan to print: invitations, thank-you cards, album pages, and framed prints all benefit from the higher resolution. If you are not sure yet, start with 2K to test the style and composition, then upgrade to 4K when you have found the portrait you want to use.

Should I Use 2K or 4K for Wedding Photos? FAQ
Short answers for couples who care about emotion, trust, image quality, and real wedding boundaries.
Is 2K resolution good enough for wedding invitations?
For most standard invitation sizes — A6, 5×7, or postcard — 2K resolution can work, but 4K is noticeably sharper for printed output, especially for faces. If the invitation will be mailed and held by guests, 4K is the safer choice. If it is a digital e-invite only, 2K is sufficient.
What is the maximum print size for 2K and 4K respectively?
2K (approximately 2048 × 1536 pixels) prints cleanly at up to A5 or 5×7 at 300 DPI. 4K (approximately 3840 × 2160 pixels) handles A4 or 8×10 at 300 DPI with room to spare. For anything larger than A4, discuss requirements with your print service.
Can I upgrade from 2K to 4K after I have already chosen the portrait I want?
Yes. Preview and compare in 2K — it is perfectly good for evaluation. Once you have chosen the portrait and style direction you want to use for a real purpose, download the 4K version for that specific image. This workflow saves both time and cost during the comparison stage.
