Image Calculator

The Image Calculator uses pixel dimensions, bit depth, and DPI/PPI to answer questions like: How big is my image file? What size should I resize to? What is the aspect ratio? How many inches will this print at 330 PPI? How much should I crop to achieve a 16:9 ratio? This free MathCalc simplifies the process.

How to use the MathCalc image calculator?

Step by step:

  • Choose a calculation type from calculate file size, resize image, find aspect ratio, DPI/PPI Conversion, and crop calculator.
  • Enter width (pixels).
  • Enter width (pixels).
  • Choose bit depth from 8-bit (256 colors), 16-bit (65,536 colors), 24-bit (16.7M colors), or 32-bit (With alpha).
  • Enter the New height.
  • Enter the New Width.
  • Choose the maintain aspect from the “maintain aspect ratio”, “stretch to fit”.
  • Enter DPI/PPI.
  • After entering the value, click on calculate, and in seconds, you will see the result.

Example 1: If we choose Calculate file size

Enter 1920 in width (pixels), 1080 in height (pixels), choose 24-bit (16.7M) in the Bit depth box, and choose stretch to fit in the Maintain aspect box. Enter 1 in all remaining inputs because these are not required to calculate the file size.

Step by step:

  • Image File Size Calculation
  • Dimensions: 1920 × 1080 pixels
  • Bit depth: 24 bits per pixel
  • Total pixels: 1920 × 1080 = 2,073,600
  • Bytes per pixel: 24 ÷ 8 = 3
  • Uncompressed file size: 2,073,600 × 3 = 6,220,800 bytes
  • File size in KB: 6075 KB
  • File size in MB: 5.93 MB

result:

  • File size bytes: 6,220,800 bytes,
  • File size Kb: 6075 KB,
  • File size MB: 5.93 MB,
  • Total pixels: 2,073,600

Example 2: If we choose Resize image

Enter 4000 in width (pixels), 3000 in height (pixels), enter 1200 in new width (pixels), choose 8-bit (256 color), and choose maintain aspect ratio in the maintain aspect box. And enter 1 in the remaining inputs.

Step by step:

  • Image Resize Calculation
  • Original dimensions: 4000 × 3000
  • Aspect ratio: 1.3333
  • New width: 1200
  • Maintaining aspect ratio
  • New height: 1200 ÷ 1.3333 = 900

result:

  • New dimensions: 1200 × 900,
  • New width: 1200,
  • New height: 900,
  • Aspect ratio mentioned: yes

Example 3: If we choose to find the aspect ratio

Enter 1920 in the width (pixels) box, 1080 in the height (Pixels) box, 8-bit in the bit depth box, choose maintain aspect ratio from the maintain aspect ratio options, and enter 1 in all remaining boxes.

Step by step:

  • Aspect Ratio Analysis
  • Dimensions: 1920 × 1080
  • Aspect ratio: 1920 ÷ 1080 = 1.7778
  • Simplified ratio: 16:9
  • Closest standard ratio: 16:9

result:

  • Aspect ratio decimal: 1.7778,
  • Simplified ratio: 16:9,
  • Closest standard: 16:9,
  • Orientation: Landscape

Example 4: If we choose the DPI/PPI conversion

Enter 2400 in width (pixels), 1600 in height (pixels), choose 16-bit (65,536 colors) in the bit depth box, enter 300 in the DPI/PPI box, choose maintain aspect ratio in the maintain aspect box, and enter 1 in all remaining boxes.

Step by step:

  • DPI/Print Size Conversion
  • Image dimensions: 2400 × 1600 pixels
  • Resolution: 300 DPI
  • Print width: 2400 ÷ 300 = 8 inches
  • Print height: 1600 ÷ 300 = 5.33 inches
  • Print size in cm: 20.32 × 13.55 cm

result:

  • Print size inches: 8 × 5.33,
  • Print size cm: 20.32 × 13.55 cm,
  • Total area sq inches: 42.67 sq in

FAQ

What is a bit depth?

Bit depth means “how many bits are used per pixel”. Additional bits = more colors (and larger uncompressed file size).

Does DPI/PPI change file size?

It does not change pixel count or uncompressed file size. DPI/PPI sets print density (“how many pixels per inch”), and affects printed inches, not pixel data.

Who can use the Image Calculator?

It’s useful for students, researchers, graphic designers, and anyone who needs to process or analyze images. Whether for scientific analysis or creative editing, the tool is simple and beginner-friendly.

Do I need to install any software to use the Image Calculator?

No. The Image Calculator works directly online in your browser. Just upload your images, select the operation you want to perform, and get results instantly without downloading or installing extra software.

Is the Image Calculator free to use?

Yes, our Image Calculator is free and accessible online. There are no hidden charges, and your uploaded images are not stored, ensuring privacy and security.
