Video Storage Calculator for Whole Video Libraries

Use the video storage calculator to plan disk or cloud space for a library rather than a single file. It applies a fixed bitrate per quality preset (1,000 kbps for 480p, 5,000 for 720p, 8,000 for 1080p and 35,000 for 4K), adds 128 kbps audio, and multiplies by your video count and average duration.

You get the average file size, the total in GB and TB, a storage tier with a suggested solution, from free cloud plans to a multi-TB NAS, and a monthly and yearly cloud cost at about $0.02 per GB per month. It is useful when you batch-produce Shorts and need to decide what to keep and what to archive.
