Image File Size Estimator

Estimate uncompressed image size from width, height, and color depth.

Formula and method

This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:

  • Uncompressed size: width*height*bits/8/1000000
  • Pixels: width*height/1000000

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Width = 4000 px, Height = 3000 px, Bits per pixel = 24 bpp, this calculator returns Uncompressed size = 36 MB, Pixels = 12 MP.
