Free tools for video teams.
No signup, no paywall. The small utilities every production ends up needing, built by the team behind CloudStudio.
Internet speed test
Measure your real connection with a test built for video work, then feed the result straight into the calculator.
Open toolTransfer time calculator
How long a file actually takes to move at your speed, with realistic scenarios instead of best-case promises.
Use toolMbps to MB/s converter
Plans are sold in megabits, files are measured in megabytes. Convert between them instantly.
Use toolWhy bandwidth math matters in post.
Video work runs on numbers most speed tests were never built for. An internet plan is sold in megabits per second, camera cards fill up in gigabytes, and a delivery deadline only cares about one thing: how long the upload actually takes. Mixing those units up is how a "fast" connection ends up missing a morning deadline by four hours.
These tools do the conversions the way working editors, DITs, and post supervisors need them: measured speeds instead of advertised ones, realistic overhead instead of best-case math, and results in the units your NLE and your ISP actually use. They pair naturally with CloudStudio's accelerated transfers — once you know what your connection can really do, you can decide whether to move media over the wire or let the platform do it for you.
