Audio Peak Headroom and Crest Factor

Compare a measured sample or true peak with a chosen ceiling, or calculate peak-to-RMS crest factor using compatible digital levels.

Calculators

PCM Audio Storage Calculator

Calculate byte-aligned PCM payload and explicit overhead from sample rate, stored sample width, channels and duration. Compare bytes, MB and MiB.

Calculators

Word Counter

Count words, Unicode characters, sentences and paragraphs. Inspect English readability, estimate reading time and compare a selected publishing length rule.

Text Tools

Reading Time at Your Chosen Pace

Estimate reading or narration time from your own effective words-per-minute rate, with optional page estimates using your chosen word density.

Calculators

Markdown Preview

Live Markdown editor with real-time HTML preview. Supports headings, bold, italic, links, code blocks, tables, and blockquotes.

Text Tools

QR Code Generator

Generate scan-testable URL, email, phone, WiFi, or escaped vCard QR codes with UTF-8 capacity checks, color warnings, raster logos, PNG, and SVG.

Developer Tools

Video Bitrate Calculator

Reproduce decimal video-file size from documented video/audio bitrates, duration and explicit container overhead, then compare an independent file-size record.

Calculators

Video Resolution Calculator

Reproduce and compare active square-pixel sample counts, decimal megapixels and axis ratios for two explicit reviewed raster records.

Calculators

Video Storage Calculator

Reproduce media-set capacity from a reviewed inventory, per-item payload, explicit working overhead and reserve, then compare an independent capacity record.

Calculators

Aspect Ratio Calculator

Reproduce reviewed square-pixel active-image geometry for a documented target canvas using an explicit Fit/Pad or Fill/Crop mode and rounding rule.

Calculators

Observed Render Time Reproduction

Reproduce a strictly sequential render or export queue from two named completed work-and-elapsed-time observations, explicit fixed overhead, and an independent duration record.
