Tips & Best Practices

1 KB = 1,024 Bytes (binary) or 1,000 Bytes (decimal)

1 MB = 1,024 KB (binary) or 1,000 KB (decimal)

1 GB = 1,024 MB (binary) or 1,000 MB (decimal)

Operating systems typically use binary (1024-based) units

Storage manufacturers often use decimal (1000-based) units

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What file size units are supported?

The tool supports common file size units including Bytes, KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes), GB (gigabytes), TB (terabytes), and PB (petabytes).

Q

What's the difference between binary and decimal units?

Binary units use 1024 as the base (1 KB = 1024 Bytes), while decimal units use 1000 as the base (1 KB = 1000 Bytes). Operating systems typically use binary, while storage manufacturers often use decimal.

Q

How accurate are the conversions?

Conversions are highly accurate, using standard conversion factors. The tool provides precise calculations for all supported units.

Q

Which system should I use?

Use binary (1024-based) for operating system file sizes and memory. Use decimal (1000-based) for storage device capacities and network speeds.
