Tips & Features
- Decimal (KB, MB, GB) vs. Binary (KiB, MiB, GiB): This tool clearly distinguishes between these two common standards. Decimal units (KB, MB, GB) are based on powers of 1000 (e.g., 1 KB = 1000 bytes), often used by hard drive manufacturers. Binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB) are based on powers of 1024 (e.g., 1 KiB = 1024 bytes), typically used by operating systems and for memory measurements.
- Real-time Conversion: All calculations update instantly as you type or change units, providing immediate feedback.
- Comprehensive Units: Convert between bits, Bytes, Kilobytes, Kibibytes, Megabytes, Mebibytes, Gigabytes, Gibibytes, Terabytes, and Tebibytes.
- Practical Applications: Beyond simple conversions, estimate file transfer times over various internet speeds and see how many files fit on different storage media.
- Privacy-Focused: All calculations are performed directly in your browser; no data is sent to any server.
