Data Storage Converter

Bytes, kilobytes, and beyond

A byte is 8 bits, and this converter uses the decimal SI convention where each step up multiplies by 1,000 — so 1 KB = 1,000 bytes, 1 MB = 1,000 KB, and so on. This is how storage drives and network speeds are marketed. (Operating systems often use the binary 1,024-based KiB/MiB instead, which is why a “1 TB” drive shows as ~931 GiB.)
