Convert bits, bytes, KB, MB, GB, and TB using decimal storage units for files, networks, storage devices, and cloud systems.
How to use this converter
What this category measures
Digital data units describe information capacity, transfer size, or storage volume. A bit is a binary digit and a byte contains eight bits. Decimal prefixes such as KB, MB, GB, and TB use powers of 1,000, while KiB, MiB, GiB, and TiB use powers of 1,024.
Where these conversions help
Use this converter for drive capacity, file sizes, cloud plans, network rates, memory specifications, backups, and software documentation. Always check whether a product or service uses decimal SI prefixes or binary IEC prefixes before comparing advertised values.
How results are calculated
RulerUnit keeps decimal and binary data units separate. For example, 1 KB equals 1,000 bytes, while 1 KiB equals 1,024 bytes; both are different from a byte-to-bit conversion. This avoids the common mistake of treating KB and KiB as equivalent.
