Common Data Conversions

1 byte = 8 bits

1 KB = 1,000 bytes

1 MB = 1,000 KB

1 GB = 1,000 MB

1 TB = 1,000 GB

1 KiB = 1,024 bytes

1 MiB = 1,024 KiB

1 GiB = 1,024 MiB

Important: KB, MB, GB and TB use decimal multiples based on 1,000. KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB are binary units based on 1,024.

Data Storage Converter

Vedicaly's Data Storage Converter helps you quickly convert digital storage values between commonly used units such as bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes. Enter a value, select the original unit and target unit, and get the converted result instantly.

How to Use the Data Storage Converter

Enter the data value you want to convert, select the unit you are converting from and then choose the target unit. The converter will automatically calculate the equivalent data storage value in the selected unit.

Common Data Storage Conversions

Data conversion is useful when comparing file sizes, computer storage, memory, downloads and other digital information measured using different storage units.

How many megabytes are in one gigabyte?

In the commonly used binary-based convention, 1 gigabyte is equal to 1,024 megabytes. Some storage manufacturers use the decimal convention, where 1 gigabyte equals 1,000 megabytes.

How many kilobytes are in one megabyte?

In the binary-based convention, 1 megabyte is equal to 1,024 kilobytes. In the decimal convention, 1 megabyte equals 1,000 kilobytes.

What is the difference between a bit and a byte?

A bit is a single binary digit, while one byte contains 8 bits. Bytes and their larger units are commonly used to describe file sizes and storage capacity.
