Image Geometry, Aspect Ratios, Bit Depth & File Size Math
Digital raster images consist of a two-dimensional grid of picture elements (pixels):
- **
- Core Raster Sizing Formulas**:
Total Pixels = Width (px) × Height (px)
Megapixels (MP) = Total Pixels1,000,000 = (W × H) / (10^6)
Raw Uncompressed Size (Bytes) = W × H × (Bit Depth8)
- **
- Common Bit Depth Formats**:
- 8-bit Grayscale: 1 Byte / pixel
- 24-bit RGB (TrueColor): 3 Bytes / pixel (16.7 million colors)
- 32-bit RGBA: 4 Bytes / pixel
- 48-bit HDR / RAW: 6 Bytes / pixel (281 trillion colors)
- **
- Standard Compression Ratios**:
- JPEG (Lossy DCT): ≈ 10:1 to 15:1 reduction
- PNG (Lossless DEFLATE): ≈ 2:1 to 3:1 reduction
- WebP / AVIF (Predictive Intra-frame): ≈ 15:1 to 25:1 reduction (30\% smaller than JPEG)
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Image Width in Pixels (px) (e.g. 1920 in px), Image Height in Pixels (px) (e.g. 1080 in px), Color Bit Depth — choose from 24-bit TrueColor RGB (3 Bytes / pixel - Standard Web/Photos), 32-bit RGBA with Alpha (4 Bytes / pixel - Transparent PNG), 8-bit Grayscale / Indexed (1 Byte / pixel), and Display & Camera Benchmark — choose from Custom Resolution, 1080p Full HD (1920 × 1080, 16:9) → 2.07 MP, 4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160, 16:9) → 8.29 MP. Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.

Understanding Your Result
Unit conversions are exact by definition within a given measurement system (e.g., 1 km = exactly 1,000 m). Cross-system conversions (metric to imperial) use defined exchange factors: 1 inch = exactly 2.54 cm; 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg. Round your converted result to match the precision of your original measurement — expressing more decimal places than your input justifies implies false accuracy. For regulatory, legal, or safety-critical applications, verify which measurement system is required by the applicable standard.
