1170 × 2532 compared with common resolutions
| Resolution | Pixels | 1170 × 2532 has |
|---|---|---|
| 720p (1280 × 720) | 921,600 | 3.21× as many |
| 1080p (1920 × 1080) | 2,073,600 | 1.43× as many |

1170 × 2532 vs 1920 × 1080 and 1170 × 2532 vs 2560 × 1440
1170 × 2532 has 43% more pixels than 1080p (1920 × 1080). On a 6.7-inch phone that is 416 vs 329 pixels per inch, so text and fine detail look sharper at 1170 × 2532. A game or encoder has to process 1.43× as many pixels per frame, which costs frame rate on the same graphics card and, at equal quality, file size.
1440p (2560 × 1440) has 24% more pixels than 1170 × 2532. On a 6.7-inch phone that is 416 vs 438 pixels per inch, so text and fine detail look softer at 1170 × 2532. A game or encoder processes only 80% as many pixels per frame, which helps frame rates and keeps files smaller.

Where 1170 × 2532 is used
- The screen of the 6.1-inch iPhone 12, 13, 14, 16e and 17e (460 ppi); screen recordings from these phones are this size.
- Taller than 9:16 (about 9:19.5), so a recording needs a small crop or bars to fill a 1080 × 1920 Reel.
- Phone wallpapers and app screenshots.
Pixel density (PPI) by screen size
Pixel density is the diagonal in pixels (2,789) divided by the screen diagonal in inches. The last column is the distance at which a person with normal vision stops seeing individual pixels (one arcminute of visual acuity).
| Device | Screen | PPI |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 12 | 6.1 inches | 460 |
| iPhone 13 | 6.1 inches | 460 |
| iPhone 14 | 6.1 inches | 460 |
| iPhone 16e | 6.1 inches | 460 |
| iPhone 17e | 6.1 inches | 460 |
| Screen diagonal | PPI | Pixels blend at about |
|---|---|---|
| 6.1 inches | 457 | 8 in (19 cm) |
| 6.3 inches | 443 | 8 in (20 cm) |
| 6.7 inches | 416 | 8 in (21 cm) |
| 6.9 inches | 404 | 9 in (22 cm) |

Video at 1170 × 2532: bitrate and file size
| Frame rate | Bitrate | Per minute | Per 10 minutes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24-30 fps | 8 Mbps | about 60 MB | about 600 MB |
| 48-60 fps | 12 Mbps | about 90 MB | about 900 MB |
Uncompressed, one 1170 × 2532 frame is 8.9 MB as 8-bit RGB, or 4.4 MB in the 8-bit 4:2:0 format video codecs work in. At 30 fps that is 1,066 Mbps of raw video, which is why every delivery format compresses it.

How to resize to 1170 × 2532
- In an editor, set the sequence or export frame size to 1170 × 2532; if the source has a different shape, choose scale to fill (crop) or scale to fit (bars) rather than stretch.
- With FFmpeg, exact size:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf scale=1170:2532 -c:a copy out.mp4 - With FFmpeg, keep the whole picture and add bars:
ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf "scale=1170:2532:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1170:2532:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" -c:a copy out.mp4 - Upscaling a smaller source to 1170 × 2532 makes the file bigger without adding detail; scale down from a larger master when you can.
