How It Works

Convert between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and petabytes. Use Data Storage Converter when you need to express the same quantity in another unit.

The result is most useful when the inputs match the definitions used by this calculator. For this tool, the underlying method is: 1 Byte = 8 bits. 1 KB = 1024 B. 1 MB = 1024 KB. 1 GB = 1024 MB. 1 TB = 1024 GB. 1 PB = 1024 TB. Compare the output with the worked example, then change one meaningful input at a time to see how the result responds.

Understanding Data Storage Converter

Data Storage Converter converts or expresses a quantity using the relationship between the selected source and target units. Check the source unit, target unit, and precision before using a converted value in technical or financial work. Review the data storage converter inputs and units before relying on the result.

When to Use This Calculator

Use Data Storage Converter when you need to express the same quantity in another unit.

Practical tip: For this Data Storage Converter, verify the source and target units first, then change one unit or amount at a time so the converted value stays easy to interpret.

Formula

1 Byte = 8 bits. 1 KB = 1024 B. 1 MB = 1024 KB. 1 GB = 1024 MB. 1 TB = 1024 GB. 1 PB = 1024 TB

Example

Converting 500 GB to MB: 500 × 1024 = 512,000 MB.
