About the Digital Storage Converter

Convert file and storage sizes between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes and petabytes, in either decimal (1 KB = 1,000 bytes) or binary (1 KiB = 1,024 bytes) units.

Why your drive looks smaller

Manufacturers use decimal units, while Windows reports binary units, so a '1 TB' drive shows about 931 GB. This converter shows both.

How to use Digital Storage Converter

  1. Type a value.
  2. Choose the units to convert from and to (use ⇄ to swap).
  3. The converted value, the exact conversion factor and a table of all units appear instantly.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1 GB 1000 MB or 1024 MB?

Both are used. The SI (decimal) convention uses 1 GB = 1000 MB, which is what drive makers use. The IEC (binary) convention uses 1 GiB = 1024 MiB, which many operating systems show as "GB". Choose the convention in the converter.
