Unit Converters
Data Storage Converter
Data Storage Converter switches a file or storage size between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes and petabytes.
It uses binary (1024-based) units, the same convention your operating system uses when it reports a file's size, so the numbers you see here should match what your computer shows.

- Open the Data Storage Converter tool.
- Enter the storage size you want to convert.
- Choose the unit you're converting from.
- Choose the unit you want to convert to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 1 GB equal 1024 MB here instead of 1000?
This converter uses binary units (1 KB = 1024 bytes), matching how Windows, macOS and most operating systems report file and disk sizes.
What about network speeds -- are those the same units?
No, network/data-rate units conventionally use decimal (1000-based) units. Use the Digital Data Rate Converter for bps/Mbps/Gbps conversions.
Is this accurate for very large numbers?
Yes, the conversion uses standard floating-point arithmetic and displays up to 8 decimal places for precision.
