Image Megapixel Calculator
Calculate image megapixels, aspect ratio, uncompressed pixel data size, and print dimensions at a selected PPI.
Formula
Megapixels = width pixels x height pixels / 1,000,000; raw bytes = pixels x channels x bits per channel / 8.
About the Image Megapixel Calculator
Calculate image megapixels, aspect ratio, uncompressed pixel data size, and print dimensions at a selected PPI.
How the Image Megapixel Calculator Works
Pixel dimensions are multiplied for total pixels, data channels and bit depth estimate unpacked storage, and selected print density converts pixels to inches.
Formula
Megapixels = width pixels x height pixels / 1,000,000; raw bytes = pixels x channels x bits per channel / 8.
The calculation runs in your browser. Values are validated for required ranges, compatible units, and method-specific restrictions before results are displayed.
Required Inputs
- Image width (required) - enter in px.
- Image height (required) - enter in px.
- Color channels (required).
- Bits per channel (required).
- Print pixel density (required) - enter in PPI.
Results Reported
The result panel reports the final answer and the intermediate quantities needed to check the calculation:
- Image resolution (MP)
- Reduced aspect ratio
- Uncompressed pixel data (MB)
- Print width (in)
- Print height (in)
- Total pixels

Accuracy and Limitations
File formats add metadata and use compression, packing, chroma subsampling, layers, or alpha differently. Raw size is not a prediction of JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or camera-RAW file size.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
