File Size Estimate

Estimate media file size from bitrate and duration.

How this calculator works

Enter the values for first value, second value and review the units before calculating.

Formula / method

File size = bitrate × duration ÷ 8

Worked example

8 Mbps for 60 minutes produces about 3.6 GB before container overhead.

Assumptions and limitations

Bitrate is sustained and decimal gigabytes are used.

Variable bitrate, audio tracks, metadata and codec/container overhead can change the final file size.
