Free Online Data Storage Converter
Convert between all common data storage units including bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and petabytes. This tool also supports binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB) based on powers of 1024. All conversions happen in real time as you type, and you can copy any individual result with a single click.
How to Use
Enter a numeric value in the input field and select the source unit from the dropdown. A table below will instantly display the equivalent value in every supported unit. Use the toggle to show or hide binary (IEC) units. Click Copy next to any row to copy that value to your clipboard.
FAQ
What is the difference between KB and KiB?
A kilobyte (KB) is 1,000 bytes using the decimal (SI) standard, while a kibibyte (KiB) is 1,024 bytes using the binary (IEC) standard. Operating systems and storage manufacturers may use either convention.
How many bytes are in a gigabyte?
One gigabyte (GB) equals 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9) in the decimal system. One gibibyte (GiB) equals 1,073,741,824 bytes (2^30) in the binary system.
Why do hard drives show less space than advertised?
Hard drive manufacturers use the decimal definition (1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes), but operating systems often display sizes using binary units (1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes). This difference makes the displayed capacity appear about 7% smaller per terabyte.
What is the largest unit supported?
The converter supports up to petabytes (PB) for decimal and tebibytes (TiB) for binary. One petabyte equals 1,000 terabytes.
How are bits and bytes related?
One byte equals 8 bits. A bit is the smallest unit of data and can hold a value of 0 or 1. Internet speeds are typically measured in bits per second, while file sizes use bytes.
