The calculator collection

Photo crop, print, file size & transfer calculators

Translate technical specifications into time, space, size, or cost. Make sure the units match: megabits are not megabytes, decimal GB are not binary GiB, and image PPI is not printer DPI.

Photo printing & framing

Will these two photos fit my frame?

Fit unequal prints into a measured insert with a weighted bottom border.

Crop an image to an aspect ratio

Plan exact pixel dimensions and margins for landscape, square or portrait crops. Compare image area removed before editing your photo.

Planning a time-lapse shoot

Start with your shooting window or desired clip length. Check frames, start-to-start intervals and storage for saved stills.

Fitting two unequal prints into one frame

Use the measured frame insert size to derive borders, or set borders to size a new mat. The tool keeps the prints unchanged.

Planning video storage

Use duration and average video plus audio bitrate. Resolution by itself does not determine the file size.

Sending a file

Use file size and upload speed, then allow for less than full throughput. Use download speed for a download.

Printing an image

Start with pixel dimensions and a target pixels-per-inch value to find the physical print dimensions.

Budgeting equipment power

Use average operating draw and run time. A power supply’s maximum rating may differ from actual usage.

Put the numbers to work

  1. Estimate a recording’s file size
  2. Estimate the transfer time
  3. Estimate the equipment running cost

The aquarium tool is a separate geometric volume estimate. It uses internal dimensions, actual water height, and displacement; it is not a stocking or dosing guide.
