- Toggle the base between Decimal (1000) and Binary (1024).
- Type a value into any unit field.
- Every other unit field updates simultaneously.
What Is a Data Size Converter?
Two competing conventions live side by side. The SI / decimal version uses powers of 10: 1 KB = 1000 bytes, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. The IEC / binary version uses powers of 2: 1 KiB = 1024 bytes, 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes. Disk manufacturers and network gear use decimal; Windows, Linux and macOS file managers usually report binary. The same drive reads as 500 GB on the box and 465 GiB in your file manager.
Developers sizing uploads against API limits, sysadmins reconciling marketing specs with df output and students comparing RAM specs all need the conversion to land in the right base. Toggle between the two and watch every unit refresh.
Numbers are kept exact internally and rounded only on display, so large multi-petabyte values stay accurate to the byte.
