Open the image on PhotoShop, Go to: Image -> Image size... (Alt + Ctrl + I), on resample image choose: "Bicubic sharper" and make sure constrain proportions is checked.
Input the width/height you want, such as "1920x1080" and click OK, save.

Actually...it's not that difference for me
try it and see for your self if it worth doing
as long as the game only run in 1080
the 4k work out is over resource use for me

Whilst not exactly the same thing, this thread probably is the best recent answer to your question. A couple of the replies talk specifically about the potential advantages of downsizing a larger image.
Question about image quality in Renpy (Daz)

The short version is that you can sometimes render a large image for a shorter/similar time to create a slightly less perfect image, then downsize the larger image to correct most of those imperfections so that the final 1080p/720p image is practically the same quality as the one you might have originally rendered... but for less time/resources.

The counter solution being just batch render stuff overnight while you're asleep and stop caring how long each render takes ;)

I'm not grumpy, I'm just coded that way.

Or you can also automatize this part of the post-processing by using :

Code:
@ECHO OFF
REM	Resize the images  files in the current directory

REM	Extension of the files
SET ext="png"
REM	Expected size
SET size="1920x1080"

DIR /b *.%ext% > magick.lst
FOR /F "tokens=1,2 delims=." %%f IN ( magick.lst ) DO (
	 magick "%%f.%%g" -resize %size% "%%f-resized.%%g" )
DEL magick.lst
