Resolution

Choose between 1K and 2K output for faster iteration or higher-resolution results.

How it works

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.

1

When editing a scene

The resolution selector sits next to the ratio control.

2

Select 1K or 2K

Select 2K for full-resolution output, or 1K 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.

3

Generate

Generate as usual. Your resolution choice carries over to your next task automatically.

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.

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

Why did my 2K image come out at 1K?

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.

Do I need to set the resolution every time?

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.
