What This Converter Does
Digital storage is measured in bits and bytes (1 byte = 8 bits), and each larger unit - kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte - steps up by a fixed factor of the last. So the units all measure the same amount of data, just at different scales.
Convert digital storage sizes between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes.
How to Use It
- Enter the value.

FAQ
How many megabytes are in a gigabyte?
1024 MB, using the binary convention (1 GB = 1024 MB) that this tool uses.
Why 1024 and not 1000?
This converter uses binary units (powers of 1024), which match how operating systems usually report file and memory sizes. Storage makers sometimes use decimal (1 GB = 1000 MB).
How many bits are in a byte?
