A helpful Technology guide
Distinguish decimal and binary storage, and bits per second from bytes per second. Estimated file sizes and bandwidth depend on the stated compression, throughput and concurrency assumptions.
Plan storage, transfers and media using explicit bit, byte and display units.
Convert a storage amount between bits, bytes and decimal or binary multiples.
Open calculatorEstimate the ideal transfer time for a file at a constant connection speed.
Open calculatorA 1920 × 1080, 24-inch screen has approximately 91.787799 pixels per inch.
Open calculatorReduce image or screen dimensions to an aspect ratio and calculate proportional resizing.
Open calculatorConvert a storage amount between bits, bytes and decimal or binary multiples.
Open calculatorEstimate the ideal transfer time for a file at a constant connection speed.
Open calculator1920 × 1080 at 24 bits per pixel requires 6,220,800 bytes, or 6.2208 MB.
Open calculatorConvert pixel dimensions to a print size, or find the pixels needed for a chosen print density.
Open calculatorWork backward from a file size and deadline to estimate the connection speed required.
Open calculatorA 1920 × 1080, 24-inch screen has approximately 91.787799 pixels per inch.
Open calculator100 viewers at 5 Mbps each require 500 Mbps outbound bandwidth and transfer about 225 GB in one hour.
Open calculatorFind the average video bitrate that fits a target file size after budgeting for audio.
Open calculator8 Mbps for 1 hour with no added audio uses approximately 3.6 GB.
