How large are saved drawings, in bytes?
I’d like to create several hundreds of mathematics cards which will have a drawing on the front and back. It makes me wonder how much space it would take up, and if that media will hog the server or anything.
It depends on the drawing and you’re shown the size (KB) in latest versions of AnkiDroid. It’ll mostly be around 200–400 KB (200K–400K bytes), from experience.
If it’s possible, you should instead use MathJax. It’s text-based and is easier to manage. See Math & Symbols - Anki Manual.
In my opinion, a few hundred images are pretty normal to have. Once the images are uploaded, they just sit there in the server unless you’re doing a one-way sync.
To see size of your notes and their attachments you can use Note Size addon.
Thanks! 200-400kb gives me a good number for my estimates.
