2,000 photos: 16 GB JPEG, 50 GB RAW
How many GB do 2,000 photos take?
2,000 photos take about 16 GB as 8 MB JPEGs or 50 GB as 25 MB RAW files, and both fit shoots.page Pro with 100 GB. The free 2 GB holds about 250 such JPEGs, and at 50 MB per RAW file the set fills all 100 GB.

| 5 MB JPEG | 10 GB | No | Yes, 10% |
| 8 MB JPEG | 16 GB | No | Yes, 16% |
| 12 MB JPEG | 24 GB | No | Yes, 24% |
| 25 MB RAW | 50 GB | No | Yes, 50% |
| 50 MB RAW | 100 GB | No | Yes, all 100 GB |
How the estimate works
Multiply the photo count by the average file size: 2,000 x 8 MB = 16,000 MB = 16 GB, and 2,000 x 25 MB = 50,000 MB = 50 GB. The table uses example averages, not camera specifications, so measure your own: divide the size of a finished export folder by the number of photos in it.
The gallery size calculator does the same sum, with presets of about 8 MB per JPEG and 25 MB per RAW file, and you can type in your own average.
Free plan or Pro
The free plan's 2 GB is not enough: 2,000 photos would have to average 1 MB or less. Pro stores 100 GB for USD 9 a month or USD 90 a year before tax, or EUR 8 a month or EUR 80 a year in Europe with VAT included.
On Pro, 16 GB of JPEGs uses 16% of your storage and 50 GB of 25 MB RAW files uses half, so Pro holds 6 full sets of 2,000 JPEGs, or 2 sets of 2,000 RAW files. At 50 MB per RAW file, 2,000 files come to 100 GB: all of Pro, with no room for any other gallery. Storage is per account and shared by your galleries, and only the files you upload count. Previews, thumbnails and the full-size JPEGs made from RAW files do not. See pricing.
Why your computer shows a different number
shoots.page and storage makers count 1 GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Windows File Explorer counts in steps of 1,024 but keeps the KB, MB and GB labels, so a size in GB looks about 7% smaller there, and a size in MB about 5% smaller. Windows shows 16 GB as about 14.9 GB, 50 GB as about 46.6 GB and 100 GB as about 93.1 GB.
Apple notes that some older systems, such as iOS 10 and earlier and OS X Leopard and earlier, report storage in binary too. Compare decimal with decimal: the shoots.page app shows gallery sizes in decimal GB.
Delivering 2,000 photos
Your client gets one gallery link and needs no account. At 60 photos per page, 2,000 photos fill 34 pages, so consider splitting the set into a few galleries by part of the day or by theme. That is easier to browse and uses exactly the same storage.
Clients save originals byte for byte, one by one or as one ZIP per gallery, or choose 2000 px JPEGs. RAW uploads reach them as full-size JPEGs unless you switch on RAW downloads.
Uploads run in the browser and resume if you leave mid-upload. 16 GB takes about 21 to 28 minutes at 100 Mbps, or 1 hour 47 minutes to 2 hours 19 minutes at 20 Mbps. 50 GB of RAW files takes 1 hour 7 minutes to 1 hour 27 minutes at 100 Mbps. Try your own speed in the upload time calculator. A gallery is not a backup, so keep your own archive of the shoot.
