Can you Upload YouTube Shorts in 4K?
YouTube Shorts can be uploaded and viewed in 4K format given that you shoot and export your videos in 4K, it’s just that simple.
While YouTube Shorts can be uploaded in 4K, I haven’t seen a positive impact on it, what I mean to say is that 1080p Shorts still do well as 4K Shorts.
Your focus should be to make sure that your video is visible enough for your viewers.
How Can I Create YouTube Shorts in 4K?
Firstly, you’ll need to get a Camera that shoots in 4K Resolution, the Sony ZV-1 is a great choice, but if you want to compare features and explore multiple options, then check out my article on the best Cameras for YouTube Videos.
After shooting your vertical video in 4K Resolution, you need a video editor that can export your videos in 4K Format, my recommendation for you is the Movavi Video Editor, that’s the software I use.

Final Thoughts
If I may add, Uploading 4K videos can help with growing your channel concerning Long Form Videos and not YouTube Shorts, this is because Long Form Videos can be filtered to display only 4K videos from Search.
And YouTube Shorts are watched on Mobile 99.9% of the time and Users hardly click on Shorts when they search for a term on YouTube.
