Data Unit Converter
Convert bits, bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB and binary units KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB.
Quickly compare decimal and binary units used for storage, memory and data rates.
Use the tool
| Unit | Value |
|---|
Decimal units use powers of 1000; IEC units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB) use powers of 1024.
Use the result with confidence
Recommended workflow
- Use a non-sensitive representative input for data unit conversion.
- Run the operation and review the result before copying or exporting it.
- Validate the output in the target application or environment before relying on it.
What to verify
- Distinguish bits from bytes before comparing storage or throughput values.
- Use SI units (KB, MB, GB) and IEC units (KiB, MiB, GiB) deliberately; they are not interchangeable.
- Keep enough precision for the decision you are making, then round only for presentation.
Questions about this tool
What should I verify when using data unit conversion?
Check the source unit or encoding, the target representation and any sign, timezone, delimiter or permission convention that applies.
Can the converted value be ambiguous?
Yes. Units, character encodings, timestamps and permission notations can be interpreted differently when context is missing.
How do I validate the conversion?
Convert a known reference value first, then compare the result with the target system or specification.
