Up to 100 photos per event. Ideal for small, casual meetups.
Before you pick a plan or a hard drive, it helps to know roughly how many photos an event will produce. This calculator estimates photo counts, file sizes, and storage from your event type, guest count, and hours of coverage.
Use it to size a Pixeva pass, plan photographer backups, or set guest upload limits.
A wedding with a photographer produces roughly 400 to 800 delivered photos, from 2,000 to 5,000 frames shot.
Guest phone uploads add 5 to 20 photos per guest who participates, and participation is usually 30 to 60 percent.
A JPEG from a modern camera averages 6 to 12 MB; a phone photo 2 to 5 MB; a RAW file 25 to 50 MB.
Hours of coverage matters more than guest count for photographer output. Guest count matters more for upload volume.
Multi-event weddings (Haldi, Sangeet, Reception) multiply everything — estimate each event separately and add them.
Video changes the maths entirely: a few clips can outweigh the whole photo library in gigabytes.
