Bitrate Calculator
Find the video bitrate needed to hit a target file size.
How it works
- 1Enter the target file size and the video length.
- 2Enter the audio bitrate.
- 3Use the video bitrate in your encoder.
Features
- Allows for container overhead.
- Subtracts the audio bitrate for you.
- kbps and Mbps.
- Updates as you type.
Frequently asked questions
Why two-pass encoding?
Two-pass lets the encoder hit an average bitrate precisely, so the file lands close to the target size.
What audio bitrate should I use?
128 kbps AAC is fine for most videos; 96 kbps for speech.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Everything is calculated in your browser.
