No sign-up. No tracking. No ads.

Depth of Field

Near, far and total depth of field from focal length, aperture, distance and sensor.

Hyperfocal Distance

Hyperfocal distance for maximum depth of field, by focal length, aperture and sensor.

Field of View

Angle of view and frame width from focal length and sensor size.

Crop Factor

35mm-equivalent focal length and aperture for any sensor crop factor.

Exposure Value (EV)

Exposure value from aperture, shutter and ISO, plus scene light value.

ND Filter

New shutter speed after an ND filter, by stops or filter number.

Flash Guide Number

Flash distance or aperture from guide number and ISO.

Time-Lapse

Frames, clip length and storage for a time-lapse shoot.

500 Rule

Longest shutter before star trails, by focal length and crop factor.

Print Size / DPI

Print size from pixels and DPI, or the pixels a print needs.

About this toolkit

A set of photography calculators for shooting and planning: depth of field, hyperfocal distance, field of view, crop factor and equivalent focal length, exposure value, ND filter long exposures, flash guide number, time-lapse, the 500 rule for star photography, and print size versus resolution. Standard optics maths, all running in your browser.

Who uses these tools

Frequently asked questions

Are these photography calculators accurate?

They use the standard optics formulas: the hyperfocal and depth-of-field equations, angle of view from sensor size, the exposure-value definition, guide-number geometry and the 500 rule. Results are exact for the model; real lenses vary slightly with focus breathing and marked-versus-actual focal length.

Which sensor sizes are supported?

Full frame, APS-C (1.5x and Canon 1.6x), Micro 4/3 and 1-inch, with a custom crop factor where it applies. The depth-of-field and 500-rule tools use standard circle-of-confusion and crop values for each.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Every calculator runs entirely in your browser with no download, sign-up, or data leaving your device.

Which tools are in this category?

Depth of field, hyperfocal distance, field of view, crop factor, exposure value, ND filter, flash guide number, time-lapse, the 500 rule and print size / DPI.
