Storage Unit Conversion

Convert common digital storage units.

1 byte = 8 bits; 1 KiB = 1024 bytes; 1 MiB = 1024 KiB

Formula Explanation

Binary-prefix units such as KiB and MiB use powers of 1024.

bit = Binary digit; byte = 8 bits; KiB and MiB = Binary-prefixed storage units.

Convert 4 KiB to bytes.

4 × 1024 = 4096 bytes.

Do not confuse decimal KB (often 1000 bytes) with binary KiB (1024 bytes).
