Bits per channel to bits per pixel
Type a value in bits/channel to get it in bpp instantly.
30bpp
That's about the same as 10-bit HDR video.
What it means
How many colors is that?
RGB without alpha. Bits per channel × 3 = bits per pixel; colors = 2^(bits per pixel).
The math
How to convert bits/channel to bpp
To convert bits per channel to bits per pixel, multiply by 3.
Example: 10 bits/channel × 3 = 30 bpp.
In the other direction, 1 bpp = 0.333333 bits/channel.
