Image File Size Calculator

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.
