Data Converter (KB, MB, GB, TB)
About Data Converter (KB, MB, GB, TB)
The Data Converter helps you easily convert between digital storage units — Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB), Gigabytes (GB), and Terabytes (TB). It’s a handy tool for students, developers, and IT professionals managing storage, downloads, or data transfers.
Formula (Simple Explanation)›
1 KB = 1024 Bytes, 1 MB = 1024 KB, 1 GB = 1024 MB, 1 TB = 1024 GB
Each digital storage unit is a power of 1024. To convert between units, multiply or divide by 1024 depending on the direction of conversion.
Example:
Input: Convert 2048 MB to GB
Output: 2048 ÷ 1024 = 2 GB
Steps to Use:
- Select the input unit (KB, MB, GB, or TB).
- Enter the data value you want to convert.
- Choose the unit you want to convert to.
- Click 'Convert' to get the result instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many KB are there in 1 MB?›
There are 1024 Kilobytes (KB) in 1 Megabyte (MB).
How do you convert MB to GB?›
Divide the number of Megabytes by 1024 to get Gigabytes. For example, 2048 MB ÷ 1024 = 2 GB.
What’s the difference between MB and MiB?›
MB (Megabyte) uses decimal base (1 MB = 1000 KB), while MiB (Mebibyte) uses binary base (1 MiB = 1024 KiB). This calculator uses the binary base standard (1024).
Can I convert Terabytes to Kilobytes?›
Yes. Each step is multiplied by 1024, so 1 TB = 1024 GB = 1,048,576 MB = 1,073,741,824 KB.
Why are data sizes based on 1024 and not 1000?›
Computers use binary calculations (base-2), so data sizes increase in powers of 2, making 1024 the standard conversion factor.
