Indie Game Audio File Size Estimator

무료 인디 게임 개발 오디오 크기 추정기.

사용 시기

Use during pre-production to budget your final build size. Indie mobile games and itch.io uploads have hard size limits.

비교

Audacity and other DAWs report file size after encoding. This tool estimates before.

Enter your values below. Calculations run locally as you type.

작동 방식

WAV bytes = seconds × sample rate × (bit depth ÷ 8) × channels.

Compressed formats are estimated as a fraction of WAV — MP3 ≈ 8%, OGG ≈ 7%, Opus ≈ 5%.

Use the estimate to budget your final build size before encoding.

자주 묻는 질문

When should I use OGG?

For looping music and ambience. OGG handles seamless loops better than MP3 at similar bitrates.

Is 22 kHz too low?

Acceptable for retro / SFX, but speech and music sound noticeably duller. 44.1 kHz is the safe default.

How is uncompressed WAV size calculated?

Multiply sample rate by bit depth by number of channels by seconds, then divide by 8 to get bytes. For example, stereo 44.1 kHz 16-bit audio is about 10.1 MB per minute.

Should music and voice use the same settings?

Not usually. Music benefits from a full 44.1 kHz sample rate to preserve high frequencies, while voice often sounds fine at 22 kHz mono, which roughly halves the file size.

실제 예시

입력

30 minutes, OGG, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, stereo.

출력

~22 MB total (~0.7 MB/minute).

WAV would be 30 × 60 × 44100 × 2 × 2 = ~317 MB. OGG ratio ~7% → ~22 MB.

흔한 함정

  • OGG/MP3 ratios depend heavily on bitrate — defaults are for 192 kbps.
  • Repeated SFX in many channels stack; budget per unique asset.
  • 24-bit audio is rarely necessary in games — drop to 16-bit unless you have a strong reason.
