Good to know: Uses decimal GB (10⁹ bytes) and Mbps (10⁶ bits/s). Effective speed = entered speed × (1−overhead). Server limits, Wi-Fi and competing traffic may affect actual time.
How to use it (step by step)
- 1Fill in the boxes: “File size (decimal GB)”, “Speed (Mbps)”, “Protocol/other overhead (%)”. Example numbers are already there so you can see how it works; replace them with yours.
- 2The result updates instantly as you type (on a phone it is below the boxes).
- 3The bold line is the main answer. Tap Copy next to any value to copy it.
Words to know
- Pace / speed
- Speed = distance per hour (km/h). Pace = time per distance (minutes per km), common in running.
- Bitrate
- How much data a video uses per second. Higher = sharper but bigger file.
- Percentage
- A part out of 100. 25% of 200 = 50.
- Data storage units
- Sizes of digital files: 1 KB ≈ a short text, 1 MB ≈ a photo, 1 GB ≈ a movie. 1 GB = 1,000 MB (or 1,024 in computer counting).
- Mbps
- Megabits per second: how fast data flows. 25 Mbps is enough for HD streaming. Divide by 8 to get megabytes per second.
- SSID / WPA
- SSID is your Wi-Fi’s name. WPA2/WPA3 is the password protection used by almost all routers.
