FAQ

Are calculations sent to a server?

No. These calculators run locally in your browser and do not upload files or inputs.

Are the results exact?

They are planning estimates. Real exports can vary because codecs, motion, audio, metadata, and platform re-encoding all affect final size and quality.

Are Twitch values official?

No. Twitch values in V1 are labeled as practical estimates because official guidance is not exposed here in a stable machine-readable way.

Want professional polish?

These calculators help you plan exports. Aufzeichna's desktop app helps you create the polished recording with cinematic zoom, smooth cursor motion, and export control.
