filesize

How big digitally

Filesize is the amount of storage space a digital file occupies, typically measured in bytes or multiples thereof—kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes.

Large filesizes slow downloads and fill storage quickly: The filesize is too big to email.

Also spelled as two words: file size.
