I have the md5 and sha256 hash of a file, I would like to calculate the size of the file from the hash value.
Is there any way to get the size of a file with md5 or sha256 hash of that file available with us ?

No, there is no way to determine the size of a file using its hash. That is based on the nature of a hash
: same output size for every input size.
32 characters / 128 bits for md5
and 64 characters / 256 bits for sha256
