What is the data storage converter?
The data storage converter is a collection of calculators for changing one data storage unit into another. Convert digital storage units including bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes.
Data storage conversions are useful for file sizes, device storage, cloud plans, bandwidth planning, backups, and comparing decimal and binary storage units.
Available data storage units
This category includes the following units:
- Byte (B)
- Kilobyte (KB)
- Megabyte (MB)
- Gigabyte (GB)
- Terabyte (TB)
- Kibibyte (KiB)
- Mebibyte (MiB)
- Gibibyte (GiB)
Common data storage use cases
Use this category when the same measurement appears in different unit systems, data sheets, calculators, reports, or regional conventions.
- Data Storage conversions help compare measurements across specifications, calculators, labels, and technical references.
- Use this category when source data and target documents use different data storage units.
- The dedicated conversion pages show formulas, examples, tables, related pages, and FAQ for individual unit pairs.

Most wrong answers come from mixing unit systems, rounding too early, or choosing a unit that looks similar but means something different.
- Do not mix decimal units such as KB, MB, and GB with binary units such as KiB, MiB, and GiB.
- Do not compare drive labels and operating-system storage displays without checking which unit convention is being used.
- Keep uppercase B for bytes and lowercase b for bits when storage values are compared with network rates.
