Q: How many files can I store?
The number of files (e.g. logos, photos, videos, pdfs, etc) that you can store per plan will vary considerably based on the file format, file size, resolution, number of pages in a PDF, length of a video or audio, etc.
In Brandkit you typically store the high res version of Photos and our Conversions feature will offer smaller downloable files for users to choose from - saving you space. You can also use the Link asset feature to find Asset/Files stored elsewhere.
This includes linking to YouTube videos (which normally consume a lot of space and traffic if uploaded as a file) which consumes very little storage space or traffic in Brandkit.
Rule of thumb:
- Typical high res image is A4 at 300dpi = 3508 by 2481px - saved as a high quality RGB JPG - occupies 2 to 5 MB per file. Alternatively a compressed TIFF with LZW (lossless) compression is 10-15mb. We recommend High Quality RGB JPGs for most photos as these are goo enough for most print and screen mediums and are an efficient file format for file-size.
- 200 high res JPG images per 1GB of storage (at 5MB per image)
- 1000 high res JPG images per 5GB of storage 5MB per image)
- 10,000 high res JPG images per 100Gb storage (at 5MB per image)
- 100,000 high res JPG images per 1TB storage (at 5MB per image)
- Logo artwork when a vectior file (e.g. .ai,.svg,.eps,.pdf) are much smaller than 5mb typically
- Video and Audio files are much larger and vary widely in size — based on resolution, duration,frame rate, codec and bitrate. For example: a High Quality YouTube HD (1920x1080) video, 30secs long at 5mbps is approx 18.75mb
