Video bitrate calculator: pick resolution, frame rate, quality and platform (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch) to get the min, target and max kbps.
Professional video creators rely on video bitrate calculator to ensure their content meets platform requirements and looks perfect on every device. Whether you're creating for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, or other platforms, getting the right specifications is crucial for maximizing engagement and reach.
Our video bitrate calculator provides instant, accurate results based on industry standards and platform guidelines. Save time, avoid trial-and-error, and create videos that perform better from the start.
The video bitrate calculator starts from a 30 fps bitrate table for each resolution from 360p to 4K and three quality levels, then scales it for frame rate: 60 fps needs about 1.5× the bitrate and 24 fps about 0.8×. You get a minimum, a recommended and a maximum value, the audio bitrate to pair with it, and the resulting file size per minute.
Choose a target platform to see its own guidance, such as 1080p60 at 6,000 kbps for Twitch streaming or 3–6 Mbps for vertical TikTok uploads, and a warning when your recommended bitrate is above that platform's ceiling.

At 30 fps and medium quality it recommends 12,000 kbps, with a range of 8,000–16,000 kbps. At 60 fps that becomes 18,000 kbps. For Twitch streaming the platform guidance shown is 6,000 kbps for 1080p60, with 8,000 kbps as the maximum.
