Conversion Formula

1 ≈ NaN

Convert digital storage size bits and bytes. Accurate definitions for decimal (MB) vs binary (MiB) units.

Why This Tool Exists

In the developer world, "1 Megabyte" is ambiguous. Does it mean 1,000,000 bytes (decimal) or 1,048,576 bytes (binary/MiB)? Hard drive manufacturers use one; operating systems represent the other. This specialized Unit Converter clarifies the confusion. It explicitly separates Decimal (kB, MB, GB) from Binary (KiB, MiB, GiB) standards. Useful for verifying cloud storage costs, bandwidth throughput limits, or RAM allocation.

I bought a 1TB drive and Windows said it was only 931GB. I thought I was scammed. I wasn't—it was just the math difference between TB and TiB.

Key Capabilities

Instant: No upload or download wait times.

Secure: Local processing guarantees data safety.

Free: No subscriptions or hidden fees.

How It Works

Understanding the processing logic.

A specialized digital storage calculator: - **Standards:** IEC (Binary) vs SI (Decimal). - **Range:** Bits to Yottabytes. - **Precision:** High-precision floating point.

Accuracy & Reliability

Standard browser-based processing logic.

Who Is This For?

System Architects

Calculate exact storage provisioning needs.

Network Engineers

Convert transfer rates.

Common Mysteries & Fixes

Bit vs Byte

Internet speed is usually Bits (Mbps). File size is Bytes (MB). There is an 8x difference.

Marketing vs Reality

Storage vendors sell decimal capacity; your OS likely reads binary capacity.

Real-World Scenarios

Quick Processing

Process files without verifying server security.

Offline Work

Use the tool without an internet connection.

  • No InstallationWorks instantly in your browser.
  • Zero Cost100% free and open.
  • UnlimitedNo artificial limits on file count.

When Not To Use

While we aim for perfection, browser-based tools have limits. This tool might not be the best fit for:

  • Extremely large files (e.g., video over 2GB)
  • Batch processing thousands of files at once
  • Workflows requiring server-side collaboration or cloud storage

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this tool.

Because Windows calculates in TiB (binary) but displays 'TB'. Our tool shows the difference.
Technically, 1000 is 'kilo' (standard metric) and 1024 is 'kibi' (binary). People mix them up constantly.
