GB to Minutes Calculator

The GB to Minutes Calculator helps you estimate the duration (in minutes) of a video or audio file based on its file size (in gigabytes) and the bitrate (in megabits per second, Mbps). This can be useful for understanding how long a certain file can play given a specific bitrate.

Formula Explanation

The duration (in minutes) is calculated using this formula:

\[ \text{Duration (minutes)} = \frac{\text{File Size (GB)} \times 8192}{\text{Bitrate (Mbps)} \times 60} \]

Example Calculation

If you have a file size of 2 GB and a bitrate of 5 Mbps:

\[ \text{Duration (minutes)} = \frac{2 \times 8192}{5 \times 60} \approx 54.61 \text{ minutes} \]

Usage Scenarios

• Video streaming services estimating video lengths.
• Media storage planning.
• Assessing audio or video file conversions.

This calculator is particularly handy for content creators, editors, and tech enthusiasts managing file storage or streaming options.
