How many photos can 8 GB SD card hold?

Answer 1

The number of pictures depends entirely on the size of each picture. Here are some guides:

Picture size 100KB - up to 80 000 pictures.

Picture size 500KB - up to 16 000 pictures

Picture size 1MB - up to 8 000 pictures

Picture size 3MB - up to 2 600 pictures

Pictures found on the web tend to be relatively small, around 100KB to 500KB is typical. Modern cameras often produce a picture size of 2MB or more depending on the way the camera is set up. A professional camera may produce image sizes of 5MB or considerably more.

Answer 2

It would depend on the resolution of the photograph, but a few thousand photos. A "high resolution" photo on your iPhone or modern Android phone will take about 2MB in size, so 4000 such pictures would fit on an 8GB card.

Answer 3

10,000 to 12,000
