File size: Bandwidth Conversion

Bandwidth converter Download time calculator Filesize calculator

This calculator helps you estimate filesize, using bandwidth and time as inputs. Use it to estimate video file size, disk size, network backup capacity...

Calculate file size

1 second * 757 Kbps

= 1 seconds * 94.63 KB/s

= 94.63 KB

    • Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I calculate file size from bandwidth and time?

    Multiply bandwidth by time: Size = Bandwidth × Time. Convert units first: 100 Mbps × 60 seconds = 6000 Megabits = 750 MB. Remember: 8 bits = 1 byte, so divide bits by 8 to get bytes.

    How big is a 1-hour video file?

    Depends on bitrate: YouTube HD (5 Mbps) = 2.25 GB/hour. Netflix HD (5.8 Mbps) = 2.6 GB/hour. 4K streaming (15-25 Mbps) = 7-11 GB/hour. Blu-ray quality (40 Mbps) = 18 GB/hour.

    What is the difference between MB and MiB?

    MB (megabyte) = 1,000,000 bytes (decimal, SI standard). MiB (mebibyte) = 1,048,576 bytes (binary, 2^20). Hard drives use MB; Windows often shows MiB. A "1 TB" drive shows as 931 GiB in Windows.

    How many hours of video fit on a hard drive?

    At Netflix HD quality (2.6 GB/hr): 1TB = 385 hours. At 4K (10 GB/hr): 1TB = 100 hours. At Blu-ray quality (18 GB/hr): 1TB = 55 hours. Compressed formats like H.265 can nearly double these numbers.
