Calculadora de Tamanho de Arquivo de Áudio

The Audio File Size Calculator estimates the storage space required for an uncompressed audio file (PCM format, such as WAV or AIFF). The calculation takes into account four factors: sample rate (in Hz), bit depth, number of channels (mono or stereo), and total duration in seconds. The formula used is: bytes = (sample rate × bits per sample × channels × duration) / 8. The result is displayed in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes for easy understanding.

This tool is useful for musicians, producers, sound engineers, and students who need to plan storage for recordings or understand how audio settings affect file size. For example, when recording a podcast in stereo at 44.1 kHz and 16 bits, you can predict how much space one hour of recording will require. It also helps compare different configurations, such as 48 kHz vs 96 kHz, to balance quality and storage.

Important considerations: the calculator assumes linear uncompressed audio. Compressed formats like MP3, AAC, or FLAC will have smaller sizes due to compression, which depends on algorithms and variable bitrates. Additionally, metadata (ID3 tags, album art) may add a few extra kilobytes, but these are not considered here. For accurate estimates of compressed formats, refer to specific tools or calculate based on the codec's bitrate.
