About data/storage units
This converter supports both decimal (KB = 1000) and binary (KiB = 1024) units plus bits. Use it to convert between bytes, KB/MB/GB and KiB/MiB/GiB.
Quick overview
- Byte (B) — base unit.
- KB, MB, GB — decimal SI (1 KB = 1000 B).
- KiB, MiB, GiB — binary IEC (1 KiB = 1024 B).
- bit, kb, Mb — bits (1 bit = 1/8 byte).
How conversion works
Conversions use bytes as the base unit. Example: 1 KiB = 1024 B; 1 KB = 1000 B.
