How it works
Convert through bytes with a factor of 1,024 between each displayed storage unit.
Assumptions
Uses the common binary 1,024 convention while retaining familiar KB/MB/GB labels. Drive vendors and network contexts may use decimal powers of 1,000.
About this calculator
This storage converter keeps its 1,024 convention explicit because device and service labels do not always use the same definition. It is suited to quick computer-storage comparisons, not billing disputes.
How to use it
- Enter the storage amount.
- Choose the current unit.
- Choose the target unit and calculate.
- Check whether the device, cloud service, or vendor uses binary 1,024 or decimal 1,000 units.
Use case
data storage converter: a clear planning check
Convert through bytes with a visible 1,024 convention and check whether the real device or vendor instead uses decimal units.
Convert a storage amount among bytes, KB, MB, GB, and TB with the unit convention stated.

NIST — Prefixes for binary multiplesFrequently asked questions
How many MB are in a GB here?
This calculator uses 1,024 MB per GB.
Why does a drive show less space than advertised?
Manufacturers often use decimal units while operating systems may display binary-based amounts, and formatting also consumes space.
Are KB and KiB technically identical?
No. KiB formally identifies 1,024 bytes; labels in real products are not always used consistently.
