# About This Calculator

In computing, Digital Storage is measured in units of information. Most storage devices use the binary system where each unit is 1,024 times larger than the previous one (e.g., 1 KB = 1,024 Bytes).

Note: Hard drive manufacturers often use the decimal system (where 1 KB = 1,000 Bytes) to calculate capacity, which is why a "1TB" drive often shows up as roughly "931GB" in your operating system. This calculator uses the standard binary (i.e., kibibyte) logic used by most software.

How To Use

  1. Enter the numerical **Value** you want to convert.
  2. Select your **Starting Unit** (e.g., Gigabytes).
  3. Select your **Target Unit** (e.g., Megabytes).
  4. The converted value is displayed instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between MB and MiB?+

MB (Megabyte) can sometimes refer to 1,000,000 bytes (decimal), while MiB (Mebibyte) always refers to 1,048,576 bytes (binary). Most people use MB to mean both, and this tool uses the 1,024-based binary calculation.
