Converting Image Size to Kilobytes (KB)
Understanding Image Size
When it comes to digital images, size matters. The size of an image is measured in pixels (px), which refers to the number of tiny squares that make up the image. The more pixels, the higher the resolution and the larger the file size.
Converting 100x120 Pixels to Kilobytes (KB)
So, how many kilobytes (KB) does an image with a size of 100x120 pixels equal to?
To calculate the file size, we need to consider several factors:
- Color depth: The number of bits used to represent the color of each pixel. Common color depths include 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit.
- Compression: The method used to reduce the file size of the image. Common compression algorithms include JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
Assuming an 8-bit color depth and no compression, here's a rough estimate of the file size:
- Uncompressed: 100 x 120 pixels = 12,000 pixels
- Color depth: 8-bit color depth = 3 bytes per pixel (1 byte for each RGB channel)
- Total bytes: 12,000 pixels x 3 bytes/pixel = 36,000 bytes
- Convert to kilobytes: 36,000 bytes / 1024 = approximately 35.16 KB
However, in reality, images are usually compressed to reduce the file size. Let's assume a moderate compression ratio of 10:1.
- Compressed file size: 35.16 KB / 10 = approximately 3.52 KB
So, an image with a size of 100x120 pixels, with an 8-bit color depth and moderate compression, would be approximately 3.52 KB in size.
Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate, and the actual file size may vary depending on the image content, compression algorithm, and other factors.
