How to use this Video Storage Space Calculator?

Using this tool is really easy if you are familiar with common video specifications.

Step 1: Choose Video Resolution

First, we will select the most critical aspect of any video file: video resolution. We have got size options ranging from 480p to 4320p.

Step 2: Choose Video Format

We have added most of the popular video formats for you to select including MP4, ProRes, H.265, etc. So, choose your video file format from the second drop down.

Step 3: Select Video Quality

Now, we have to select the video quality from the available options like Low, Professional, or Lossless. If you are not aware of your video quality, you can keep it on medium. But choosing this option correctly will have a big impact on the accuracy of your results. So, make sure to go through your video files and see their quality.

Step 4: Select the Frame Rate (FPS)

Now, you will have to select your video’s frame rate and this is really simple to check in your video file details.

Step 5: Total Duration and Number of Videos

Now, the final step. You will have to choose the video file duration. If there are many files with a duration, you can change the number of total files as well. However, if you have multiple files with different durations, you may have to re-run the calculator and then calculate the final video storage requirements.

Understanding the Results

Our video size calculator gives you the results in three sections. The first section is pretty simple, with the total size and total Megabytes per minute. This is calculated based on the quality, resolution, and other things that you have entered earlier.

The next result tab will give you the recommendations for storage and tips for managing your video files. These are some generic advices which you can ignore if you know how to manage your video files.

The next tab (Format Info) is optional as well. It compares the quality and compression ratio of different file formats and extensions. You can use this table as a reference if you want.
