Data Size Converter
Convert bytes and bits while keeping decimal SI units separate from binary IEC units. The distinction matters when comparing disk labels, memory sizes, uploads, and network limits.
Worked example
1,024 bytes = 1 KiB = 1.024 KB.
Important interpretation
Software interfaces sometimes display “KB” while calculating with 1,024 bytes. Check the product documentation before comparing quotas or capacities.
