Convert digital storage between bytes, KB, MB, GB and TB.
Worked example
Under the binary convention used by this converter, 1 MB is 1,024 KB and 1 GB is 1,024 MB. Some storage manufacturers use decimal units where each step is 1,000, so displayed capacities can differ.
Assumptions to check
Check whether the device, operating system or service uses decimal (base 10) or binary (base 2) units before comparing capacities.
Important limitation
Manufacturers and operating systems may use different decimal or binary conventions. Check the specification you are working with when exact capacity matters.
Quick question
Does 1 KB always equal 1024 bytes?
Not in every context. This calculator deliberately uses the binary convention of 1,024 for each step.
