Which canvas can I use to design for 4K (Samsung Flip blackboard) at 1x?

    Correct answer Dan Rodney

    Create an artboard that is 1920 x 1080. 

     

    When exporting:

    • Set Export for to Web
    • Set Designed at to 1x

     

    You'll get a 1x and 2x file. If you don't want the 1x file, simply discard it.

    So, in this way, 2x is 4k?

    Yes. 4K resolution is 3840 x 2160 pixels.

    1920 x 2 = 3840

    1080 x 2 = 2160
