Overview

Calculates estimated data usage for videos playing on any webpage.

A Chrome Extension that instantly estimates how much mobile data a video will consume โ€” right from your browser toolbar. Video Data Usage Calculator** scans the active browser tab for any playing `<video>` element and provides an instant, real-time estimate of its data consumption โ€” broken down by resolution, codec, bitrate, and duration. Whether you're on a limited mobile data plan, managing bandwidth for multiple users, or just curious how much a 4K Netflix binge actually costs in gigabytes โ€” this extension gives you a clean, instant answer without leaving the page. ๐Ÿงญ How to Use 1. Navigate to **any webpage** that has a video (YouTube, Vimeo, news sites, etc.) 2. **Start playing** the video โ€” metadata must be loaded 3. Click the **Video Data Usage Calculator** icon in the Chrome toolbar 4. The popup displays: - **Resolution, Duration, Codec, Estimated Bitrate** in stat cards - Total estimated **data usage** in MB or GB with an animated bar - A **data equivalent** for context 5. Click **"Compare Quality Tiers"** to expand a full breakdown across all quality levels 6. Click the **โ˜€๏ธ / ๐ŸŒ™** button to toggle between dark and light themes 7. Use the **๐ŸŒ language dropdown** to switch language instantly โ€” auto-detected from your browser 8.
