• How to Convert Videos to 4K or UHD in 2017
• Summary This article gives an introduction to 4K
  UHD, lists three best 4K video converter, and
  shows you how to convert video to 4K.
• Let us first take a glimpse at the two
  standards that has become popularized just last
  year, that is, 2016 with the advent of
  high-resolution TV screens, and smart phones that
  can record high definition videos and so on.
  There are two interchangeably used file formats
  called 4K and UHD. These are different based on
  the area of usage. The 4K is a video production
  standard used in the cinema industry but the UHD
  is more of a consumer display standard used by TV
  and screen manufacturers. The most profound
  display of these abbreviations is during the
  Black Friday sale. However, it is also possible
  to take your videos that are not of so high
  definition and convert video to 4K UHD, after
  they have been shot. It does not mean that it is
  same as the original one, but it can be
  comparatively better for large screen viewing
  than a low-resolution video.

• The 4K roughly means around 4000 pixels
  across your screen. The currently used
  computer/laptop screens are mostly 1366x768 on 14
  and 15.6-inch screens, the smart phones offer
  1080p recording and so on and so forth. The 4K or
  UHD packs even twice as much as a 1080p screen,
  roughly in every inch of your screen. This
  increases the detail and makes the pixelation
  disappear to the human eye. Here we shall talk
  about some ways to convert video to 4K UHD using
  software.
• It must also be noted that not every
  software or media player is capable of playing
  neither such high-resolution videos nor every
  screen supports display of them. It is therefore
  used only for very large screens like 51-inch
  monitors and so on. The software also used for
  them are ones that make use of CPU and GPU for
  video processing for real-time media playback.
• Fonepaw Video Converter
• The video converters are mostly useful
  since there is a lack of 4K UHD content on the
  internet or a 4K stream of House of Cards on
  Netflix. So, it can be used to convert other
  videos and watch them on your new TV from Samsung
  or Panasonic. There are a few that have good
  models in the market with that high resolution
  actually. There may be some very high-end models
  from Sony as well as an Xperia range of smart
  phones. Nevertheless, Fonepaw Video Converter
  Ultimate is available for both Windows and Mac.
  It is free for trial and can convert video to 4K
  UHD in 3 simple steps.

• First, add the media files, second, choose the
  output resolution, e.g. 4K here and, then hit
  Convert button. It also has an added feature to
  download videos from online platforms like
  Facebook, YouTube, and BBC and so on. It is
  inbuilt so that you can directly download the
  converted video in 4K format. This is a good,
  generous addition to a converter that is usually
  missing. Then, there is not just a single option
  for 4K UHD video, but a plethora of options under
  the 4K output settings drop down menu. For
  example, it has 4K H.264, 4K H.265, AVI, and MPEG
  separately and much more. In addition, you can
  also choose brands like YouTube 4K HD format
  directly and so on. In addition, the Fonepaw
  Video Converter can also help you decode and
  compress 4K video file size obtained from
  elsewhere and store it in lesser hard disc space
  on your laptop.

• DVDFab Video Converter - Professional 4K
  Converter
• It is often recommended not to convert
  SD or HD videos or 640x480 resolution videos to
  4K since it will greatly reduce the quality after
  the conversion. It will obviously have 4000k
  pixels, but there will not be enough detail as it
  was not there in the original video itself.
  DVDFab Video Converter another great software
  that not just allows similar features as the one
  above, but additionally has a lot of power
  beneath its hood. First, it allows complete
  compatibility with Intel processors to make use
  of multi-core power and multi-threading to do
  parallel processing. Its not just allows smooth,
  lag-free playback of the 4K media, but also
  allows quicker to convert video to 4K UHD than
  others without. The next thing about further
  improving the performance is using GPU hardware
  acceleration that allows the program to process
  the video on the GPU of the laptop or computer to
  enhance the speed of conversion as well as
  playback. DVDFab Video Converter allows a free
  trial of the software and is quite a useful tool
  too. You can choose between MKV.4K and MP4.4K as
  output for conversion.

• Furthermore, it allows editing videos in
  real-time, which is possible due to the
  above-mentioned improvements in processing data.
• Wondershare Video Converter Pro
• There are many others that also do the
  same thing with little differences. One of them
  is Wondershare Video Converter Ultimate. It also
  features very similar features as the above. It
  also allows both to convert video to 4K UHD and
  also, to compress them to 1080p, 720p or 480p.
  This allows to convert video to 4K UHD, and also
  to 4K MOV, 4K WMV, and 4 K AVI and so on. Its
  Converter Factory Pro supports multi-threading as
  well as hyper threading to speed up the process
  which uses the latest CPU cores to increase
  performance. This is quite important to deal with
  the time required to decode and encode such
  high-resolution frames from a video file.
