Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between KB and KiB?

KB (kilobyte) uses decimal prefixes where 1 KB = 1000 bytes. KiB (kibibyte) uses binary prefixes where 1 KiB = 1024 bytes. Hard drive manufacturers typically use decimal, while operating systems often display binary sizes.

How do I convert between MB and GB?

In decimal: 1 GB = 1000 MB. In binary: 1 GiB = 1024 MiB. Simply enter the value, select the from/to units, and the tool will calculate instantly.

Why does my 1TB hard drive show less than 1TB?

Hard drive manufacturers use decimal (1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes), but operating systems often display in binary (1 TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes). So a 1TB drive appears as about 931 GiB in Windows.

Can I convert very large files?

Yes. This tool supports values up to petabytes (PB) and beyond. There is no practical limit since all calculations are done locally in your browser using JavaScript.
