Frequently Asked Questions

How many MB are in a GB?

In binary (IEC): 1 GiB = 1024 MiB. In decimal (SI): 1 GB = 1000 MB. This tool supports both systems.

What is the difference between MB and MiB?

MB uses 1000² = 1,000,000 bytes. MiB uses 1024² = 1,048,576 bytes. Computers and RAM typically use binary units.

How many bytes are in a terabyte?

In binary: 1 TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. In decimal: 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes.

Why does my hard drive show less space than advertised?

Manufacturers use decimal (1000-based) units, while Windows uses binary (1024-based). A 1 TB drive shows ~931 GB in Windows.

How do I convert KB to MB?

Divide by 1024 (binary) or 1000 (decimal). For example, 1024 KB = 1 MB (binary) or 1.024 MB (decimal).

What is a petabyte?

A petabyte (PB) is 10¹⁵ bytes (decimal) or 2⁵⁰ bytes (binary). It equals roughly 1 million GB or 500 billion pages of text.

How much data can 1 GB hold?

Approximately: 500 photos, 250 songs, or 1 hour of HD video. Actual sizes vary by quality and compression.
