Input amount

Understanding Storage Units:

Decimal (KB, MB, GB): Base-1000, used by manufacturers (1 KB = 1,000 bytes)
Binary (KiB, MiB, GiB): Base-1024, used by operating systems (1 KiB = 1,024 bytes)
Example: A "1 TB" hard drive shows as ~931 GiB in your OS

FAQ

Common questions 3 questions

What is the base unit for digital storage?

The base unit is the Byte, which is composed of 8 bits. All other units (KB, MB, GB, TB) are multiples of the byte.

Is the conversion based on 1000 or 1024?

The tool uses 1024 (the binary standard: $2^{10}$) for conversion between Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, etc. The commercial standard of 1000 is usually reserved for hard drive capacity.

How many Kilobytes are in a Megabyte?

There are 1024 Kilobytes (KB) in 1 Megabyte (MB) using the precise binary measurement standard.
