About this calculator

Calculate required video bitrate from target file size and duration.

Enter valid values, then select Calculate. The calculation runs in your browser and does not require an account.

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Target file size (GB); Duration (minutes). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The imaging or media result estimates dimensions, exposure relationships, storage, bitrate, field of view, or transfer time from the camera, file, lens, or encoding values entered. Check units, sensor/crop assumptions, codec, frame rate, compression, and whether the result is theoretical or based on actual file metadata.

When to use it

Use this to plan camera settings, storage, export quality, or media transfer. Treat calculated file sizes and exposure outcomes as estimates when the camera, codec, scene, or platform may vary.
