Digital Storage Converter

Convert storage amounts between bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes. Enter the Value, select From, select To, and the form returns the converted storage amount plus equivalents in the other units. It is useful for file sizes, backup planning, cloud storage, memory cards, database logs, and comparing device capacity.

Conversion formula

This calculator uses 1,024-based storage steps:

1 KB=1,024 B1\ KB = 1,024\ B

1 MB=1,024 KB1\ MB = 1,024\ KB

1 GB=1,024 MB1\ GB = 1,024\ MB

1 TB=1,024 GB1\ TB = 1,024\ GB

For example, 1 GB equals 1,024 MB. In bytes, that is 1,024 × 1,024 × 1,024 = 1,073,741,824 B. A 64 GB card therefore equals 65,536 MB in this converter.

Storage capacity is different from transfer speed. Use the data transfer rate converter for bit/s and GB/s, the data usage calculator for monthly plans, and the digital storage needs calculator for planning device space.

Frequently asked questions

How many megabytes are in 1 gigabyte?
In this calculator, 1 gigabyte equals 1,024 megabytes because it uses powers of 1,024 for KB, MB, GB, and TB.
How many bytes are in 1 kilobyte?
1 kilobyte equals 1,024 bytes in this converter.
Why does a 1 TB drive show less space on my computer?
Drive makers often advertise decimal terabytes, while this converter and many systems use 1,024-based units. Formatting and system files also use some capacity.
Is GB the same as Gbit?
No. GB means gigabytes and Gbit means gigabits. 1 byte = 8 bits, so the values differ by a factor of eight.
