Uncompressed scan storage estimate
Estimate raster size before compression for a scanning scenario.
How it is calculated
Bytes per page = width × height × dpi² × channels × bits per channel ÷ 8. Stored GB = bytes per page × pages ÷ assumed size ratio ÷ 1 billion.
Assumptions & limits
Decimal units; excludes metadata, thumbnails and OCR text. Compression varies by content and format. The size ratio is an assumption, not a quality recommendation. Defaults are illustrative planning inputs, not recommended minimums or a guarantee of safety.
Planning estimates only. Defaults are illustrative, not personalized recommendations. Do not use these calculations as medical, structural, electrical installation or other safety certification.
