- Select Target Unit: Choose the unit you're converting TO
- View Result: The conversion result appears instantly in the result card
- Swap Units: Click "Swap Units" to reverse the conversion direction
- Try Examples: Click example scenarios for common storage conversions:
- USB Drive (1024 MB to GB)
- Hard Drive (500 GB to TB)
- File Size (2048 KB to MB)
- Copy Result: Click "Copy Result" to copy the conversion to your clipboard
- Reset: Click "Reset" to clear all inputs and start fresh
Supported Storage Units
- KB (Kilobytes): 1,024 bytes
- MB (Megabytes): 1,024 KB or 1,048,576 bytes
- GB (Gigabytes): 1,024 MB or 1,073,741,824 bytes
- TB (Terabytes): 1,024 GB or 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
Binary vs Decimal Storage
This converter uses binary (base-2) conversion, where:
- 1 KB = 1024 bytes (not 1000)
- 1 MB = 1024 KB (not 1000 KB)
This is the standard used by most operating systems and file systems.
Conversion Factors
Binary (Base-2) - Used by Operating Systems:
- 1 KB = 1,024 bytes
- 1 MB = 1,024 KB = 1,048,576 bytes
- 1 GB = 1,024 MB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
- 1 TB = 1,024 GB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
Note: Some manufacturers use decimal (base-10) where 1 KB = 1000 bytes. This converter uses the more common binary standard.

Tips for Accurate Conversions
- Binary vs Decimal: Always check if specifications use binary (1024) or decimal (1000) conversion
- Available Space: Operating systems report less available space than advertised capacity
- Precision: Results display up to 4 decimal places for accuracy
- File Systems: Different file systems may report sizes differently
- Compression: Actual file sizes may vary with compression
