F-stop calculator

How much brighter is f/2.8 than f/8? Enter two apertures and this tool shows the difference in stops and the light-change factor between them, so you can balance exposure when you adjust the f-number.

It uses stops = 2 × log₂(a / b) — because light scales with the inverse square of the f-number — and runs entirely in your browser.
