Data Storage Converter

Convert between bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and other data units.

Our free Data Storage Converter lets you convert between bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and other data units. It is built for travelers, cooks, students, scientists, and anyone working across measurement systems who need fast, reliable results without installing software or creating an account.

Data Storage Converter runs entirely in your browser on CalculatorsPlus — enter your values, get instant results, and copy or share your output in one click. Your data never leaves your device; we do not store inputs on any server.

Switching between metric and imperial units is a daily need worldwide. The data storage converter uses standard conversion factors so you get consistent results for recipes, travel, homework, and technical specifications.

Results update in real time as you change inputs, so you can explore "what if" scenarios — adjust one variable at a time to see how it affects the outcome before committing to a purchase, plan, or decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many MB in a GB?
In decimal (SI): 1 GB = 1,000 MB. In binary (GiB): 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB. Storage drives often use decimal; RAM and OS may show binary.
What is the difference between MB and MiB?
MB (megabyte) often means 10⁶ bytes in marketing. MiB (mebibyte) is exactly 2²⁰ bytes. A "500 GB" drive has ~465 GiB of usable space in Windows.
How many bytes in a kilobyte?
Decimal: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes. Binary: 1 KiB = 1,024 bytes. Context determines which applies.
How big is a terabyte?
1 TB = 1,000 GB (decimal) or ~931 GiB (binary). Enough for roughly 250,000 photos or 500 hours of HD video depending on compression.
