Bar length represents bytes. The physical sizes of devices are schematic; encoding and compression affect file sizes.

A little perspective

100 megabytes is about 3.33 times the data size of a RAW photo.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

100 megabytes

Data: 100 MB; definition.

Decimal kB, MB and GB use powers of 1,000. KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1,024. The content of a file depends on encoding and compression.

NIST — SI conversion factors

RAW photo

Data: 30 MB; example.

A chosen 30 MB camera RAW file. Camera and compression mode matter.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked data is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

How to read the visual

The diagram uses the recorded measurements. Details outside the marked spans do not set the scale.

  • The data size of a RAW photo: This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same.

Data size depends on encoding and compression; decimal GB and binary GiB are different units.
