Method
The converter distinguishes decimal powers of 1000 from binary powers of 1024 when changing storage units.
Decimal and binary units are clearly separated — KB and KiB are never mixed.
Decimal (KB = 1,000 bytes) and binary (KiB = 1,024 bytes) units are shown separately and never mixed.

The converter distinguishes decimal powers of 1000 from binary powers of 1024 when changing storage units.
Enter a byte value, choose the input unit, and read the decimal and binary equivalents.
KB, MB, and GB are decimal units; KiB, MiB, and GiB are binary units.
1 MB is 1,000,000 bytes, while 1 MiB is 1,048,576 bytes.
Storage manufacturers and operating systems may use different conventions, so keep the unit prefix visible.
