kB, MB, GB and TB use decimal multiples of 1,000. KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB use binary multiples of 1,024. The converter normalises every selection to bytes before calculating the other units. Results stay on this device; no file size values or conversion results are sent anywhere.

How this calculator works

Normalise the selected unit to bytes. Decimal kB, MB, GB and TB use successive powers of 1,000; binary KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB use successive powers of 1,024. Divide the same byte count by the required unit size.

Variables and inputs

Storage amount
Required numeric input. finite numeric value; calculator-specific validation applies.

How to interpret the result

The calculator returns decimal kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes, binary kibibytes, mebibytes, gibibytes and tebibytes, common MB-to-GB comparison table, bytes, megabits. Read each output against the assumptions you entered, compare alternatives one variable at a time, and use the result as an estimate rather than a promise.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Mixing units or entering a rate as a decimal when the field requests a percentage.
  • Rounding intermediate values instead of the final displayed result.
  • Leaving out a cost, timing rule or local requirement listed in the assumptions below.

Practical uses

Use the mb to gb converter to check a real scenario, compare a changed assumption and explain the arithmetic before relying on a quote, specification or decision.

Worked example

Under decimal SI naming, 1,024 MB equals 1.024 GB, 0.001024 TB, 1,024,000,000 bytes or 8,192 megabits. The same byte count is approximately 0.9537 GiB under binary IEC units.

Assumptions and limitations

  • MB and GB use decimal SI multiples while MiB and GiB use binary IEC multiples
  • the conversion describes nominal data quantity and excludes filesystem or protocol overhead
  • results are estimates; confirm rates, prices, units and professional requirements that apply

Important notes

Results are estimates based on the values entered. Confirm rates, prices, units and professional requirements that apply in your location. Review the Answer Atlas Calculation Standard and corrections policy for formula, privacy and correction rules.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1 GB 1,000 MB or 1,024 MB?

Storage sellers usually use decimal units where 1 GB equals 1,000 MB. Operating systems often display binary-style capacity where 1 GiB equals 1,024 MiB. This page shows both.

Can I convert file sizes with decimals?

Yes. Decimal megabyte values such as 2.5 MB, 750.75 MB or 0 MB are supported.

Does Answer Atlas upload my file size?

No. The storage conversion runs locally in your browser and the number you enter is not sent anywhere.
