How to upscale an image to 4K or HD

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): 4K means 3840×2160 pixels; Full HD is 1920×1080. A Full HD image enlarged 2× above becomes exactly 4K, and a 960×540 image reaches 4K with 4×. Smaller images can still be enlarged, but expect softer detail. Crop to 16:9 first if the picture has a different shape.
