Data Storage Converter
Convert bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and petabytes using binary (1024-based) units. Ideal for file sizes, storage planning, and bandwidth estimates.
Formula
target = source × (sourceToBase / targetToBase)
Data sizes use binary prefixes where 1 KB = 1,024 bytes, 1 MB = 1,024 KB, and so on. Values are normalized to bytes before converting to the target unit.
Example
- Convert: 1 m × 3.28084= 3.28 ft
Result: 1 meter = 3.28 feet
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between KB and KiB?
KB traditionally means 1,024 bytes in computing contexts, while KiB (kibibyte) explicitly uses the binary definition. This converter uses the 1,024-based standard common in operating systems.
How many MB are in a GB?
One gigabyte equals 1,024 megabytes in binary measurement. Decimal marketing sometimes uses 1,000 MB per GB.
How much storage is a terabyte?
One terabyte equals 1,024 gigabytes or about 1 trillion bytes — enough for hundreds of thousands of photos or hundreds of hours of HD video.
