Byte / Data Size Converter

Type a size with or without a unit ("1.5 GiB", "700 MB", "12 Mbit") and see it in bits, bytes and every prefix from kilo to yotta with SI (×1000) and binary (×1024) values next to each other, plus nibbles and words. A transfer-time calculator turns any rate — Mbit/s, MB/s, Gbit/s, presets from 56k to NVMe — into hours, minutes and seconds with optional protocol overhead, and reference points (floppy, CD, DVD, Blu-ray, an hour of 4K) put the number in context.

Frequently asked questions

kB is 1,000 bytes (SI); KiB is 1,024 bytes (binary). Drive makers and networks use SI, operating systems mostly report binary (Windows labels it KB anyway) — which is why a "1 TB" drive shows as 931 GiB.
