Q: How many photos are in 1 GB of storage in the cloud?

I've imported my photos to a computer as a back up, but how many photos do I need to delete from my camera roll in order to free up 1 GB of cloud storage?  I could just delete 100 and see what space it takes up afterwards, but if someone has an estimate, it would be helpful!  Thank you in advance!

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1

A:

Depends entirely on the photo.  I've found on my 5s they range from about 1.7MB to 3.8MB.  Most are aroung 3-3.5MB.  If you assumed they averaged about 3MB, you would need to delete a little over 300.  If you don't want to overshoot, start with 200.
