Ordinal Size Calculator
Use this ordinal size calculator to estimate chunk count, inscription script bytes, and reveal transaction size from content size assumptions.
Example Usage
- Estimate how many chunks are needed for a larger inscription payload.
- Compare reveal size assumptions for P2TR and P2WPKH style outputs.
- Preview how content byte size affects reveal transaction footprint.
Ordinal Size Calculator Explained
An ordinal size calculator helps you estimate how large an inscription reveal path may become before you build the full transaction. By taking content byte size, MIME type length, chunk size, and a reveal output assumption, it approximates chunk count, script bytes, reveal bytes, and reveal vbytes. This is useful for UI planning, fee sensitivity checks, and first-pass product design around inscription workflows. It is not a full script compiler, but it gives a quick practical estimate that is often enough for early planning.
FAQ
Why does content need chunking?
Because larger inscription payloads are commonly split into smaller script pushes instead of one giant data push.
Is this a precise script-level simulator?
No. It is a practical size estimator rather than an exact script constructor.
Why estimate reveal vbytes?
Because reveal size strongly affects inscription fee planning and UX cost previews.
