Data Storage Unit Converter
Convert between bits, bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB and other data storage units
B
A group of 8 bits. The basic unit used to measure storage capacity.
KB
Equal to 1,000 bytes or 8,000 bits. Used for small file sizes.
1 Byte = Kilobyte
Bit-based Units
Units based on bits, commonly used for data transmission rates
- Bit (bit)8 bits = 1 byte
- Kilobit (Kbit)1 Kbit = 1,000 bits
- Megabit (Mbit)1 Mbit = 1,000,000 bits
- Gigabit (Gbit)1 Gbit = 1,000,000,000 bits
- Terabit (Tbit)1 Tbit = 1,000,000,000,000 bits
Byte-based Units
Units based on bytes (8 bits), commonly used for storage capacity
- Byte (B)1 byte can store a single ASCII character
- Kilobyte (KB)1 KB = 1,000 bytes
- Megabyte (MB)1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes
- Gigabyte (GB)1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
- Terabyte (TB)1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
- Petabyte (PB)1 PB = 1,000 TB
Binary-based Units (IEC)
Units based on powers of 2, providing exact binary multiples
- Kibibyte (KiB)1 KiB = 1,024 bytes
- Mebibyte (MiB)1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
- Gibibyte (GiB)1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
- Tebibyte (TiB)1 TiB = 1,024 GiB
- Pebibyte (PiB)1 PiB = 1,024 TiB
Historical Units
Specialized units used in various computing contexts
- Word (word)A 16-bit word contains 2 bytes
- Block (block)A 4 KB block contains 4,096 bytes
- Sector (sector)A standard sector contains 512 bytes
- Nibble (nibble)1 nibble = 4 bits
