Convert between data storage units in both decimal (KB, MB, GB) and binary (KiB, MiB, GiB) interpretations — the difference that explains why a new drive shows less space than advertised.
Getting started
Enter a value and choose its unit.
Pick decimal (powers of 1,000) or binary (powers of 1,024) interpretation.
Read the converted value across every unit at once.
Why it helps
Handles both interpretations explicitly instead of silently picking one.
Explains the discrepancy between advertised and reported drive capacity.
Covers the full range from bytes to petabytes.
In practice
Working out how many photos or videos will fit on a given drive.
Checking a file size against an upload or email attachment limit.
Calculating bandwidth or storage requirements for a project.
