Data Size Converter

What is a Data Size Converter?

Convert digital data storage units across Decimal (Base-10: B, KB, MB, GB, TB, PB) and Binary (Base-2: KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB) standards.

Why Use This Converter?

  • Storage Calculation: Understand the difference between hard drive manufacturer specs (GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes) and OS reported sizes (GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes).
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Convert AWS/GCP RAM and disk allocations (GiB) to MB/GB for billing estimates.
  • Network Engineering: Calculate file transfer storage sizes accurately.

How to Use

  1. Enter a numeric data size value.
  2. Select the source unit (e.g. Gigabytes GB or Gibibytes GiB).
  3. Read converted values across all SI Decimal and IEC Binary units simultaneously.

Real Conversion Example

Input (TEXT):

100 GB (Decimal)

Output (TEXT):

Bytes: 100,000,000,000 B
Megabytes (MB): 100,000 MB
Gibibytes (GiB): 93.13 GiB
Mebibytes (MiB): 95,367.43 MiB

Important Technical Details & Mechanics

  • SI vs IEC Standards: Precise distinction between SI Decimal (1 KB = 1000 Bytes) and IEC Binary (1 KiB = 1024 Bytes).
  • High-Precision Floating Math: Calculates exact unit multipliers without rounding loss.
  • Browser Native: Runs locally with zero latency.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MB and MiB?

1 MB (Megabyte) = 1,000,000 Bytes (Base 10). 1 MiB (Mebibyte) = 1,048,576 Bytes (Base 2).

Why does my 1 TB hard drive show as 931 GB in Windows?

Windows measures in binary units (TiB/GiB) but displays them with GB labels. 1 TB decimal = 931.32 GiB.

What is the largest unit supported?

Supports up to Petabytes (PB) and Pebibytes (PiB).

Is it free?

Yes, 100% free with no registration required.
