SD Card Sizing Guide
Photo file sizes vary with resolution and scene complexity. Night photos with IR flash tend to be smaller (grayscale) than daytime color photos. Our estimates use average file sizes:
| Resolution | Avg Photo Size | Photos per 32GB |
|---|---|---|
| 12 MP | ~3 MB | ~10,600 |
| 16 MP | ~4 MB | ~8,000 |
| 24 MP | ~6 MB | ~5,300 |
| 32 MP | ~8 MB | ~4,000 |
| 48 MP | ~12 MB | ~2,600 |
| 64 MP | ~16 MB | ~2,000 |
Important: Always check your camera's maximum supported SD card size. Many trail cameras max out at 32GB or 128GB. Use Class 10 or UHS-I cards for reliable performance.
