Source unit (SI or IEC).
Target unit.
Results
Converted amount.

Explanatory note about the result.
1 GB = 0.931323 GiB
At a glance:Base is the bit: 1 B = 8 bit; SI decimal KB=10³ B, MB=10⁶, GB=10⁹, TB=10¹², PB=10¹⁵; IEC binary KiB=2¹⁰ B, MiB=2²⁰, GiB=2³⁰, TiB=2⁴⁰. Convert to bits first, then to the target.
Formula
bit = input × source factor (×8 if source is B).
result = bit ÷ target factor.
How to Use
- Enter a value, pick from/to units (note 10³ vs 2¹⁰).
- The tool returns the converted amount.
Case Studies
1 GB → GiB
10⁹ ÷ 2³⁰ = 1,000,000,000 ÷ 1,073,741,824 ≈ 0.931323 GiB.
1 MiB → MB
2²⁰ ÷ 10⁶ = 1,048,576 ÷ 1,000,000 = 1.048576 MB.
FAQ
KB vs KiB?
KB = 1000 B (SI, disk/network labels); KiB = 1024 B (IEC, RAM/OS display). About 2.4% difference, larger at bigger units.
