Data Size Converter

Convert between different units of digital storage including bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and more.

How to use this tool:

  1. Enter a value in any of the input fields
  2. The tool will automatically convert to all other data size units
  3. Use decimal units (KB, MB, GB, TB) for standard measurements
  4. Use binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB) for computer memory measurements
  5. Click the Reset All Values button to start over
  6. Scroll down to learn about different data size units and their relationships

About Data Size Units

Decimal System (Base 10):

  • Byte (B): Basic unit of digital information (8 bits)
  • Kilobyte (KB): 1,000 bytes
  • Megabyte (MB): 1,000 kilobytes
  • Gigabyte (GB): 1,000 megabytes
  • Terabyte (TB): 1,000 gigabytes

Binary System (Base 2):

  • Bit (b): Smallest unit of data (0 or 1)
  • Kibibyte (KiB): 1,024 bytes
  • Mebibyte (MiB): 1,024 kibibytes
  • Gibibyte (GiB): 1,024 mebibytes
  • Tebibyte (TiB): 1,024 gibibytes

There are two systems for measuring digital information: the decimal system (used by hard drive manufacturers) and the binary system (used by operating systems). This can lead to differences in reported storage capacity.

Common Conversions:

  • 1 Byte = 8 Bits
  • 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1,000 Bytes
  • 1 Kibibyte (KiB) = 1,024 Bytes
  • 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1,000 Kilobytes
  • 1 Mebibyte (MiB) = 1,024 Kibibytes
