Result

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
