Unit Converters
Data Storage Converter
Data Storage: data Storage Converter converts between data sizes — bytes, KB, MB, GB and TB — using binary 1024-based steps. Worked through below with real figures, and the calculator repeats the working on your own inputs — free, on-device, instant.
Use Data Storage Converter to convert a data size measurement between units such as bytes, kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes: give it your value plus the source and target units, press Calculate, and read off the converted data size in the unit you choose — all worked out on your device.
About this calculator
It matters whenever the same quantity is expressed in two systems and a wrong factor silently breaks the answer. The governing relationship: Data Storage Converter converts between data sizes — bytes, KB, MB, GB and TB — using binary 1024-based steps. See it on real numbers: Convert 2 GB to megabytes: 2 × 1024 = 2048 MB (using 1 GB = 1024 MB). The calculator above applies the same steps to whatever you enter — computed locally, nothing sent anywhere.
How to use
- Enter the data size value.
- Choose the From data unit.
- Choose the To data unit.
- Press Calculate to see the converted data size.

Technical notes
Data Storage Converter converts between data sizes — bytes, KB, MB, GB and TB — using binary 1024-based steps.
Conversions use standard reference factors; for trade or engineering tolerances keep more decimal places than the display shows.
Nothing you type is uploaded — the calculation happens entirely on your device.
FAQ
Does this use 1024-based units?
Yes. KB, MB, GB and so on step by 1024, so 1 GB equals 1024 MB.
Which data units are supported?
Bytes, KB, MB, GB, TB, and PB, plus bit, Kbit, Mbit, and Gbit.
How do bits relate to bytes?
One byte is eight bits, so each bit unit is one eighth of the matching byte unit.
Does the Data Storage Converter send my data to a server?
No. The Data Storage Converter runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
