The size of an iPhone photo depends on several factors, including the iPhone model, the camera settings, and the format of the saved image.
iPhone Camera Resolution
The iPhone camera captures photos at different resolutions depending on the model. Here are some examples:
- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 48MP (up to 12MP with ProRAW)
- iPhone 13 Pro: 12MP
- iPhone SE (3rd generation): 12MP
Image Format
iPhone photos are typically saved in the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) format. This format offers better compression than JPEG, resulting in smaller file sizes while maintaining high image quality.
Camera Settings
You can adjust the camera settings on your iPhone to affect the size of the photos you take. For example:
- Resolution: You can choose to capture photos at a lower resolution to reduce file size.
- Live Photos: Live Photos capture a short video along with the still image, increasing the file size.
- HDR: High Dynamic Range (HDR) captures multiple exposures to create a wider range of colors and detail, potentially increasing the file size.
Viewing Photo Size
To check the size of a photo on your iPhone, you can:
- Open the Photos app.
- Select the photo you want to check.
- Tap the "Share" icon (square with an arrow pointing upward).
- Scroll down and tap "Info."

Conclusion
The size of an iPhone photo varies depending on the iPhone model, camera settings, and image format. You can check the size of a photo by accessing the "Info" section in the Photos app.
