Digital Storage Converter
Convert between units of digital storage, from bits and bytes up to terabytes. Both decimal units like KB and binary units like KiB are included.
About Digital Storage Converter
This converter handles the confusing mix of decimal and binary storage units. Decimal units like the kilobyte use powers of 1000, while binary units like the kibibyte use powers of 1024, which is why a drive advertised in GB looks smaller in GiB on your computer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my hard drive show less space than advertised?
Drives are sold in decimal units such as GB, but operating systems often report in binary units such as GiB, which are larger, so the same drive shows a smaller number.
What is the difference between KB and KiB?
A kilobyte (KB) is 1000 bytes and a kibibyte (KiB) is 1024 bytes. The tool includes both so you can convert either one.
Is the tool private and free?
Yes. Every conversion runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and the tool is free with no signup.
