Byte Size Converter (KB, MB, GB, TB, GiB)

Enter a size in bytes to see it in KB, MB, GB and TB plus binary KiB, MiB and GiB, so decimal and binary units are easy to compare.

About Byte Size Converter (KB, MB, GB, TB, GiB)

Enter a number of bytes and the tool lists the same size in eight units at once. Decimal units (KB, MB, GB, TB) divide by powers of 1,000, while binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB) divide by powers of 1,024. Seeing both side by side explains why a drive sold as 1 TB shows up as about 931 GiB in many operating systems.

The field starts at 1,073,741,824 bytes, which is exactly 1 GiB and about 1.07 GB. Use it to estimate file and upload limits, compare storage plans, or check values in logs and configuration files that are given in raw bytes.

How to use it

  1. Type the size in bytes into the input field.
  2. Read the decimal units: KB, MB, GB and TB.
  3. Compare with the binary units: KiB, MiB and GiB.

Questions

What is the difference between MB and MiB?

A megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes, while a mebibyte (MiB) is 1,048,576 bytes (1,024 x 1,024).

Can I enter a value in GB instead of bytes?

Not directly. Input is in bytes, so multiply first, for example 5 GB is 5,000,000,000 bytes.
