This post will walk you through the steps to convert 1080p to 720p with some software listed below. So check it out now!

How to Convert 1080P Video to 720P with EaseUS Video Converter
One of the converter software users can try to lower the quality from 1080p to 720p is EaseUS Video Converter. During the process of the conversion, users can pick the 720p option to get a 720 result. The software will then adapt the setting of the conversion according to the 720p profile you chose. This built-in profile in this program is perfect for those who want to convert without any fuss.
Moreover, users should also take note of the software's always-good-quality feature. This is the feature that allows users to get a good high-quality result from the conversion no matter what the resolution of the output is. So, even though the quality is lowered to 720p, you won't even notice a thing because the result of the video remains pristine after the conversion.
In the following, we will show you the steps to turn your 1080p video into 720p on Windows:
Step 1. Click the "Choose Files" icon and upload your file.
Step 2. Once your video has been uploaded, click on the "Gear" icon to open the software setting.
Step 3. Pick the output format you want, but make sure there is "720" attached to the name.
Step 4. Change the output to the folder you want the result to be placed. Once done, click "Convert" (or "Convert All" for multiple files) to start the conversion process.
How to Change Video from 1080P to 720P using VLC
VLC is actually a video player that has a conversion option. It's just that people use the conversion so often that they are starting to use the player more to convert videos rather than playing videos.
The steps to convert 1080p to 720p using VLC are pretty straightforward, and users can do it in 5 minutes. Beginners might find it a bit hard to find the conversion option, though, because it's tucked in the toolbar with the Stream option. Now let's take a look at the detailed tutorial below:

The unique aspect of this converter is how it has all the tools necessary for customization, so users are free to edit the video to their heart's content before the conversion. However, new users will have to look at the manual first since the features are a bit hard for newbies.
How to change 1080p to 720p using Handbrake:
Step 1. Choose whether you want to upload a single file or a batch.
Step 2. Go to "Dimensions" and change the resolution limit to 720HD.
Step 3. Change the "Preset" to any profile you want as long as it has 720 in it.
Step 4. Click "Start Encode" at the top to trigger the conversion.

The Bottom Line
Converting 1080p to 720p is not as hard as it sounds, thanks to the converters that made the process easier.

Although all the converters mentioned do a great job at converting, EaseUS Video Converter wins when it comes to features and their ease of access.
