Frequently Asked Questions

How many bits are in a byte?

1 byte equals 8 bits.

What is the difference between kB and KiB?

kB (kilobyte) is 1,000 bytes, while KiB (kibibyte) is 1,024 bytes.

How do you convert MB to GB?

In decimal units, divide megabytes by 1,000 to get gigabytes.

How do you convert MiB to GiB?

In binary units, divide mebibytes by 1,024 to get gibibytes.

How many bytes are in 1 GB?

1 gigabyte (GB) equals 1,000,000,000 bytes in decimal units.

What data units can I convert here?

This converter supports bits, bytes, and both decimal (kB, MB, GB) and binary (KiB, MiB, GiB) prefixes.

Why do file sizes and drive sizes differ?

Many drives use decimal units, while many operating systems display binary units, so the numbers look different.

Can I convert between bits and bytes?

Yes. This tool converts between bit-based and byte-based units.

Is Mbps the same as MB/s?

No. Mbps is megabits per second; MB/s is megabytes per second. Since 1 byte = 8 bits, 8 Mbps equals 1 MB/s (ignoring overhead).

How do you convert GB to GiB?

Divide GB by about 1.073741824 to get GiB. For example, 1 GB ≈ 0.931 GiB.

About Data

Data-size conversions are used in storage, networking, and software. Real-world usage often switches between bits, bytes, and decimal or binary prefixes.

Use these units to estimate file size, transfer times, storage plans, and system resource usage more reliably.
