# Resolution

### How it works

<figure><img src="/files/PIE8dVes8vAVCckh2eiO" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Beachside generates at 2K by default. You can switch to 1K at any time, and your choice is remembered as you move between tasks and models.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### When editing a scene

The resolution selector sits next to the ratio control.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select 1K or 2K

Select <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**2K**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> for full-resolution output, or <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**1K**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> for faster iteration.

Switching resolution updates the available models and their output sizes. Where a task locks the ratio, the selector switches resolution only, with no ratio change.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Generate

Generate as usual. Your resolution choice carries over to your next task automatically.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When a 2K image enters a task or model that doesn't support 2K, a hint appears in the settings panel: the image will be reduced to 1K for that generation.
{% endhint %}

### Where 2K is available

2K is supported across most generation tasks and models. The tasks and models that do not support it will automatically switch to 1K.

We are working hard to make 2K available across all tasks.

### FAQ

<details>

<summary><strong>Why did my 2K image come out at 1K?</strong></summary>

The task or model you used doesn't support 2K. When that happens, the image is reduced to 1K for that generation. A hint in the settings panel flags this before you generate.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Do I need to set the resolution every time?</strong></summary>

No. Your choice is remembered as you switch tasks and stays tied to your Signature or project. You only change it when you want to.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.theseaai.com/tasks/resolution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
