Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1 KB equal to 1000 or 1024 bytes?
In computing (binary), 1 KB = 1024 bytes. In the SI decimal system, 1 kB = 1000 bytes. This tool uses the binary (1024) convention standard in software development.
What is the largest unit supported?
This tool converts up to petabytes (PB). 1 PB = 1024 TB = approximately 1 million GB.
What is the difference between MB and MiB?
MB (megabyte) is ambiguous — it can mean 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes. MiB (mebibyte) always means 1,048,576 bytes. This tool uses the binary interpretation (1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes).
How big is a typical web page?
The median web page is about 2.3 MB (2023 data), including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and fonts.
