Wondering what size your image will be after compression? Set format and quality, then get a realistic estimate before you export.
Why a File Size Calculator Is Useful
Plan Storage Before Migrating
Moving 10,000 product images to a CDN? The calculator estimates your total compressed storage footprint before you run the job - useful for CDN cost planning.
Check Before Attaching
Need to email 12 photos but your client's email cap is 25MB? Estimate compressed sizes across formats and quality levels to find the right settings before sending.
Hit Exact Upload Limits
Platform upload limits (Mailchimp max image size, WordPress media upload limit) are fixed.
The calculator helps you find the right quality setting to stay under the limit.
Compare Format Efficiency
Which is smaller for your specific image - JPG at 80%, WebP at 75%, or AVIF at 70%? The calculator gives you format comparison data instantly, without running multiple compressions.
Built for professionals who need speed, privacy, and quality.
- E-commerce managers estimating CDN storage costs before a product image migration
- Developers setting image quality thresholds in build pipelines
- Email marketers checking whether an image batch fits within attachment limits
- Photographers quoting file delivery sizes to clients
- Web designers presenting image optimisation potential to clients

Why guessing image sizes is costing you time and money
Every web developer has done this: compress a batch of images, upload them, run Lighthouse, discover the images are still too large, go back, re-compress at a lower quality, re-upload. Repeat twice more.
The Image File Size Calculator eliminates this loop. Before you process a single file, you can estimate what compression settings will achieve.
The calculator uses the established relationship between format, dimensions, colour depth, and quality level to produce accurate estimates. These are not exact byte counts - actual file sizes vary based on image content (a photograph compresses differently from a flat graphic). But the estimates are accurate within 10-20% for planning purposes.
Use cases:
- CDN and bandwidth planning: If you're switching 10,000 product images from JPEG to WebP, the calculator estimates your storage savings and bandwidth reduction before migration.
- Core Web Vitals planning: Google recommends images contributing to LCP be under 200 KB. Calculate which quality settings achieve this for your typical image dimensions.
- Email marketing: Most email clients display images but load them on delivery. Email images over 200 KB increase delivery time and spam score. Calculate the right quality target before your next campaign.
- Client delivery estimates: "These 150 retouched photos will be approximately 2.3 GB as TIFF, or 450 MB as compressed JPG at quality 85." Exact answers before the job is done.
