Frame-Time and FPS Converter
Convert FPS into milliseconds per frame, compare average and low-percentile delivery, and see how the result fits a display refresh budget.
Translate FPS into the time each frame takes
Enter an average, optional 1% and 0.1% lows, and the display refresh rate. The tool converts every rate into milliseconds and compares it with one refresh interval.
Frame time and refresh budget
- Average frame time
- — 1000 ÷ average FPS
- 1% low frame time
- — Slowest common percentile
- 0.1% low frame time
- — Rare slow-frame percentile
- One refresh interval
- — 1000 ÷ refresh rate
- Average budget use
- — Average frame time ÷ refresh interval
- Interpretation
- — Use a trace to locate individual spikes

Lower frame time means frames are delivered more frequently. It does not guarantee even pacing.
