Binary vs Decimal

Computers use Binary (Base‑2) logic where 1 Kibibyte (KiB) equals 1,024 bytes. However, storage manufacturers often use Decimal (Base‑10) notation where 1 Kilobyte (KB) equals 1,000 bytes.

This discrepancy is why a "1 TB" hard drive appears as approximately 931 GB in your operating system. Our converter supports both IEC (binary) and SI (decimal) units for maximum precision.

Conversion Formulas

Bytes to BitsBits = Bytes × 8
Gigabytes (GB) to MBMB = GB × 1,000
Gibibytes (GiB) to MiBMiB = GiB × 1,024
