Your result

Let’s calculate.

Use the Calculate button to see your result.

Review the method below for assumptions and conventions.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter width, height, bits per pixel.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Bytes = ceil(width × height × bits per pixel/8). MiB = bytes/1,048,576.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using width = 6000, height = 4000, bits per pixel = 24, the result is 68.6645508 MiB. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Excludes row padding, metadata, file headers and compression. An ideal geometric or exposure estimate. Lens behavior, stabilization, sensor crop and scene conditions may change practical results.

Common questions
