About Bitrate Calculator
Calculate recommended video bitrates and estimated file sizes for H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1 codecs at multiple quality tiers.
How It Works
Enter resolution and framerate to get optimal bitrate recommendations for four major codecs at multiple quality tiers with file size estimates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bitrate should I use for 1080p?
H.264: 8-12 Mbps at 30fps. H.265 achieves similar quality at 40-50% lower bitrate.
Does higher bitrate always mean better quality?
Only up to a point — beyond the codec's capacity for a given resolution, extra bitrate just wastes space.
