Common Converters
Data Storage Converter
Convert between bits, bytes and the binary multiples used in computing (1 KB = 1024 B). Storage manufacturers sometimes use decimal multiples (1 kB = 1000 B); both are listed here.

Frequently asked questions
What units does this data storage converter support?
It supports 16 units: Bit (bit), Nibble (nibble), Byte (B), Kilobyte (binary) (KB), Megabyte (binary) (MB), Gigabyte (binary) (GB), Terabyte (binary) (TB), Petabyte (binary) (PB), Exabyte (binary) (EB), Kilobyte (decimal) (kB), Megabyte (decimal) (MB (dec)), Gigabyte (decimal) (GB (dec)), Terabyte (decimal) (TB (dec)), Kilobit (kbit), Megabit (Mbit), Gigabit (Gbit).
What is the base unit of data storage?
The SI reference unit is the byte (B). Every conversion is computed by converting the input to the base unit, then from the base unit to the target unit, so chained precision is preserved.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes. Conversion factors use exact legal definitions where they exist (for example 1 in = 25.4 mm exactly) and CODATA/ISO constants otherwise. Results are shown to up to 10 significant figures.
