This data storage converter tool helps you convert file-size and storage units by using a value, source unit, and target unit.

converters

Quick answer

Supports decimal units (KB/MB/GB/TB) and binary units (KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB).

What this tells you

  • Supports decimal units (KB/MB/GB/TB) and binary units (KiB/MiB/GiB/TiB).
  • Uses bytes as the base normalization unit.
  • Results are rounded to 6 decimal places for display.

How to Use

  1. 1Enter a storage value.
  2. 2Select the source storage unit.
  3. 3Select the target storage unit.
  4. 4Click Convert to view the result.

How It Works

Formula

Converted value = input × (source-to-byte factor) ÷ (target-to-byte factor)

The converter maps input to bytes first, then maps bytes into the chosen target unit, preserving decimal vs binary unit standards.

Calculation note: values are processed in the order shown above, using the current input units.
