Video Frame Size Calculator

Your details

Choose a standard resolution or select Custom to enter your own pixel dimensions.
Bits stored per pixel. 24-bit (8 bits per R, G, B channel) is the standard for most displays. 10-bit and 12-bit are common in HDR and professional formats.
Frames displayed per second. More frames per second means smoother motion but proportionally more storage.
Hours portion of the clip length. Leave at 0 for clips under one hour.
h
Minutes portion of the clip length.
min
Seconds portion of the clip length.

One Full HD 1080p frame = 5.933 MB at 24-bit color

  • Each uncompressed frame at Full HD 1080p with 24-bit color is 5.933 MB.
  • At 24 fps the raw data rate is 142.4 MB/s - this is before any codec compression is applied.
  • The clip takes 8.34 GB of uncompressed storage.
  • Real-world codecs (H.264, H.265, ProRes, AV1) compress dramatically - a 10:1 to 100:1 ratio is typical, so your actual file will be much smaller.

Next stepUse these figures to size your storage and confirm your drive can sustain the raw data rate. Then apply a codec ratio to estimate the compressed deliverable size.
