About Image Size Calculation

Understanding image dimensions and file sizes helps you:

  • Plan storage requirements
  • Optimize website performance
  • Choose appropriate dimensions for different uses
  • Estimate bandwidth needs

Key Concepts

  • Dimensions: Width and height in pixels (e.g., 1920×1080)
  • Aspect Ratio: Proportional relationship between width and height
  • Megapixels: Total pixel count (width × height in millions)
  • File Size: Storage space required, affected by format and quality

How File Size is Estimated

File size depends on several factors:

  • Dimensions: More pixels generally mean larger files
  • Format: Different formats have different compression methods
    • JPEG: Best for photos, adjustable quality
    • PNG: Lossless, good for graphics
    • WEBP: Modern format with excellent compression
    • GIF: Limited to 256 colors, good for simple animations
  • Quality: Higher quality means larger files (for lossy formats)
  • Image Content: Complex images with more detail compress less

Technical Note

These are estimates based on typical compression ratios. Actual file sizes may vary depending on image content. For example, a solid color image will compress much better than a detailed photograph at the same dimensions and quality settings.
