Camera Crop Factor Calculator

Calculate crop factor from sensor diagonal compared with full frame.

Formula and method

This calculator computes Crop factor, Full-frame equivalent directly in your browser without sending data to an external server.

Mathematical formula

  • Crop factor: 43.266615305567875 ÷ √(sensorWidth × sensorWidth + sensorHeight × sensorHeight)
  • Full-frame equivalent: lens × 43.266615305567875 ÷ √(sensorWidth × sensorWidth + sensorHeight × sensorHeight)

Variables and parameters

  • Sensor width (sensorWidth): default value 23.6 mm.
  • Sensor height (sensorHeight): default value 15.7 mm.
  • Lens focal length (lens): default value 35 mm.

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations (such as division by zero or logarithms of non-positive numbers). In those cases the live tool displays an alert instead of NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Sensor width = 23.6 mm, Sensor height = 15.7 mm, Lens focal length = 35 mm, this calculator returns Crop factor = 1.53 x, Full-frame equivalent = 53.4 mm.
