Data Storage Converter (GB, GiB, MB, MiB)

Convert file sizes, storage capacities and bandwidth between bits, bytes, decimal units (kB, MB, GB, TB) and binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB).

How to use

  1. Enter a size.
  2. Choose decimal or binary units.
  3. Read the result.

How it works

Decimal (SI) units multiply by 1,000: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Binary (IEC) units multiply by 1,024: 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. A byte is 8 bits.

Drive makers label capacity in decimal units, while Windows shows binary units with decimal names — which is why a 1 TB drive appears as about 931 “GB”.

Examples

New drive
1 TB = 931.3 GiB.
Internet speed
100 Mbit/s = 12.5 MB/s.

Common uses

  • Understanding drive capacity
  • Converting download speeds
  • Estimating file transfer sizes

Frequently asked questions

Is 1 KB 1000 or 1024 bytes?

Officially 1 kB = 1,000 bytes and 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes, but many programs still use KB for 1,024.

Why are speeds in megabits?

Network speeds are measured in bits per second; divide by 8 for bytes.
