Photo/Video Storage Calculator
Estimate how much storage a collection of photos or footage needs, using typical average file sizes per quality level.
Inputs explained
- Number of photos / minutes of video — How many photos, or how many minutes of video. Example: 60.
- Media type — The quality level: 12 MP photos (~4 MB each), 48 MP photos (~10 MB each), 1080p video (~150 MB/min), or 4K video (~400 MB/min).
How to use it
- Fill in the fields above — each input has a hint describing exactly what to enter
- Press Calculate to get your result instantly, right on this page
- Copy the result, save the tool to favorites, or share and embed it anywhere
Understanding the result
Example: 60 minutes of 4K video at ~400 MB/min needs about 23.44 GB, and a 128 GB card holds roughly 327 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Why are the storage estimates only approximate? Actual file sizes vary with compression settings, frame rate, bitrate, and scene complexity, so the calculator uses typical average sizes per quality level rather than an exact measurement of your specific files.
Does higher resolution always mean proportionally more storage? Generally yes — 4K video uses roughly 4 times the pixel data of 1080p and takes noticeably more storage per minute, though the exact ratio depends on the encoding format and bitrate used.
Is the Photo/Video Storage Calculator free to use? Yes — it is completely free, with no sign-up, no download and no usage limits. You can use it as often as you need.
Is my data private? Yes. The calculation runs entirely in your browser — the values you enter are never sent to our servers, stored or shared with anyone.
