Animation Tools & Calculators
Free, practical tools for every animation project — cost an animated sequence, work out aspect ratios, estimate file size, count frames and timecode, plan a render farm, and budget a studio production.
Animation Cost Calculator
Estimate the cost of an animated sequence from its length, frame rate, and per-frame production cost — total frames, base cost, overhead, the grand total, and the cost per second
Aspect Ratio Calculator
Reduce any width and height to a clean ratio like 16:9, read the decimal, and scale a target width to the matching height so your frames keep their proportions across every format
Video File Size Calculator
Estimate the size of a rendered clip from its length and video and audio bitrates — see the video, audio, and total size in megabytes and gigabytes before you export or upload
Frame Rate Calculator
Turn a length and frame rate into the total frame count, frames per minute, the duration of a single frame, and an SMPTE timecode — plan shots and match editorial to animation
Render Time Estimator
Estimate how long a render will take from the frame count and seconds per frame, then split it across a render farm — total render time and the wall-clock time per machine
Studio Budget Planner
Build a production budget from team size, schedule, weekly rate, software, and overhead — labor, software, subtotal, overhead, the total, and the cost per artist
