Download (compressed on disk)  115.63 MB
Runtime memory (decompressed)  501.87 MB
Budget headroom                3594 MB of the 4096 MB PC / console working set
Mip-map overhead included      125.47 MB (+33% on textures)

Warnings
  ! A 120s clip loaded decompressed costs 20.2 MB each. Clips over ~30s are usually streamed.

These are estimates, not a build report. Assumptions: textures cost width x height x bits-per-pixel with a 4/3 mip factor; disk size for textures is 92% of GPU size because block-compressed data barely shrinks again in a bundle; meshes use 44 bytes per vertex; audio is 128 kbps compressed on disk and 16-bit PCM in memory unless streamed; video and fonts use typical per-asset sizes. Real numbers depend on yo

About Asset Bundle Size Estimator

Asset Bundle Size Estimator preview - Game Dev tool

Estimate build sizes for textures, audio, meshes across platforms. Part of the DevTools Surf developer suite. Browse more tools in the Game Dev collection.

Use Cases

  • Mobile game developers estimating build sizes for store limits
  • Technical artists optimizing texture budgets across quality tiers
  • Build engineers planning asset bundle download strategies
  • Producers tracking content size budgets across development milestones

Tips

  • Compare compressed vs uncompressed sizes for each asset type
  • Check texture sizes at different compression formats like ASTC
  • Estimate total build size across target platforms simultaneously

Fun Facts

  • A single 4096x4096 uncompressed RGBA texture uses 64 MB of memory — ASTC compression at 4x4 block size reduces this to approximately 4 MB, a 16x reduction.
  • Unity's addressable asset system, released in 2019, enabled on-demand asset downloading — some mobile games reduced initial install size from 2 GB to under 100 MB using this approach.
  • The Google Play Store enforces a 200 MB APK size limit (increased from 100 MB in 2022), and Apple's App Store warns users about downloads over 200 MB on cellular — making size estimation critical.

FAQ

Which platforms does it estimate?
Mobile (iOS, Android), console (PlayStation, Xbox, Switch), desktop, web (WebGL/WebGPU). Each has different compression and texture format defaults.
What asset types?
Textures (with format/compression), audio (bitrate-based), meshes (vertex/tri counts), animations, and code blobs. Covers the big contributors to bundle size.
Is this for Unity, Unreal, or generic?
Generic math — works for any engine. Unity and Unreal have specific platform compression; the estimator's defaults approximate the common cases.
Can I set platform-specific overrides?
Yes — per-platform compression settings. Useful for spotting the biggest bundle on each platform.
