Byte / KB / MB / GB Converter

Convert between bytes, KB, MB, GB, and TB — both SI and IEC.

What does this tool solve?

KB is 1,000 bytes (SI) while KiB is 1,024 bytes (IEC) — the 2.4% difference per magnitude is why disk sizes and memory sizes never seem to agree. Convert any value across both systems here.

What examples should you start with?

SI to IEC

Input

1 KB

Output

1,000 B = 0.9766 KiB

IEC to SI

Input

1 MiB

Output

1.0486 MB

Large values

Input

1.5 TB

Output

1,500,000,000,000 B = 1.3642 TiB

How does it work?

The value is normalized to bytes by multiplying with the unit's factor (powers of 1000 for SI, powers of 1024 for IEC), then divided out to every other unit.

SI units (KB, MB, GB, TB) are decimal; IEC units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB) are binary. Storage is usually marketed in SI, operating systems often report IEC.

What are the edge cases and limits?

  • Older docs and tools use KB to mean 1024 bytes — check which convention your source uses.
  • Network speeds are measured in bits (Mb), not bytes (MB) — divide by 8 before using this tool.
  • Very small results switch to exponential notation to stay readable.
