How many GB do you need for 300 photos?

Multiply the photo count by the average file size: 300 x 8 MB = 2,400 MB = 2.4 GB. As RAW files, 300 x 25 MB = 7,500 MB = 7.5 GB. The table uses example averages, not camera specifications, so check your own: divide the size of the export folder by the number of photos.

The free plan holds 2,000 MB, and 2,000 MB / 300 = about 6.67 MB per photo. So the line for this set sits between 5 MB and 8 MB: at 5 MB the 300 photos take 1.5 GB, 75% of the plan, and at 8 MB they are 0.4 GB over. Try your own numbers in the gallery size calculator.

Splitting the set into two galleries does not help, because storage is counted for your whole account. These do:

• Export a little smaller. A lower JPEG quality or a shorter long edge can bring the average under 6.6 MB.
• Trim the set. Upload all 300 as a draft. If publishing would take your live galleries past your plan, remove photos until it fits.
• Move to Pro. 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. 2.4 GB is 2.4% of it.

Only the files you upload count toward storage; previews and thumbnails do not. See pricing.

shoots.page counts 1 GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. Windows File Explorer counts in steps of 1,024 but still writes KB, MB and GB, so it shows sizes about 5% smaller in MB and about 7% smaller in GB. Near the free limit, that gap matters.

Say your photos average 6.5 MB as Windows counts it, which is 6,815,744 bytes. 300 of them are 2,044,723,200 bytes, and Windows shows the folder as about 1.90 GB, which looks like it fits. In decimal units it is 2.04 GB, over the free 2 GB. In Windows terms the free plan is about 1.86 GB, so compare against that, or check the size in the shoots.page app, which shows decimal GB.

Apple says storage makers measure capacity in decimal, and that some older systems, such as iOS 10 and earlier and OS X Leopard and earlier, report it in binary.

Your client gets one gallery link, needs no account and never pays. At 60 photos per page, 300 photos fill 5 pages. They save originals byte for byte, one by one or as one ZIP, or take 2000 px JPEGs, and RAW uploads reach them as full-size JPEGs unless you switch on RAW downloads.

Uploads run in the browser. 2.4 GB takes about 16 to 21 minutes at 20 Mbps, or about 3 to 4 minutes at 100 Mbps; the upload time calculator works it out for your connection. If you close the tab mid-upload, press Resume upload later and only the missing parts are sent. Keep your own archive too: a delivery gallery is not a backup.
