How much memory do my photos take up?
I just got a new iphone 4s and i had a ipod touch 4g before that. On the ipod about 1000 photos took up about 250mb of memory or storage. On the iphone though just 23 photos take up 60 mb! I took all of the photos with the devices. Why is this so?
Added (1). I didn't do anything with the photos, I went out, took some photos with my iphone, came back, plugged it into my mac and checked how much space it took up and BAM over 60 mb.
on my ipod i even have photos i donwloaded from the internet and put them there. So they must be higher resulution as well but they still take up less space!
What files are the original photos in? What type of file is the new photos in? It could be that they were converted to a file that has a higher storage rate for higher resolution to make them look better. Honestly I have no clue but it's worth a shot. Photos don't take up much more then a couple kb so there isn't a reason for 23 to take up 60 mb. Are you sure it's just the photos? You could have also transferred over videos and songs as well.
"23 photos take up 60 mb!"
That sounds about right - it's an average of around 3MB per photo.
"1000 photos took up about 250mb of memory"
That's because those were smaller and lower quality pictures.
Photo size can vary greatly depending on quality settings and megapixel.
The iPhone has a higher megapixel camera so the pictures take up more space when taken at the highest setting.
The iPod touch 4G has a 0.7MP camera vs the 4S which has a 8MP. Of course as a result the pictures taken from the 4S would be bigger.
Just cause they came from the internet does not mean they are higher resolution. They could be smaller. It would depend on what images you downloaded & their size.
- Why does some of the photos that I take with my iPhone 6 so much bigger than the other photos? I didn't change any of the settings in my phone as I have been taking one photo after the other. I don't think it is a burst shot either because I do not hold the capture button for long. So I'm expecting all photos to be relatively the same. Some photos even reached 200MB! I'm puzzled atm…
- Why does my photos on my Iphone take up so much memory? I had about 500 photos and it was 6.0GB, then i literally deleted all except 4 of my photos. So I have 4 photos and its 5.2 GB?! Please Help ME FIX THIS it takes up all my memory, by the way i have a 16GB IPhone 5, Thanks!
- Why does my music take up so much memory? I have 275 songs. 1.8 gigs. Why do the songs take up almost 2 gigs? What ever happen to "1 gigabyte holds 1000 songs?" I have an iphone 4 synced with an iTunes account.
- Why does my camera take up so much memory on my iphone? I literally have like, two pictures and thats it but it takes up 3.2 GB. But I also have these albums that I can't delete for some reason. I don't know how to fix it.
