Data Storage Converter
data storage converter
Instant conversion. Swap anytime.
Decimal and binary storage sizing for downloads, SSD labels, memory cards, and cloud planning.
Converted value
0.931323GiB
Uses exact byte factors at 6-decimal precision. Decimal (KB/MB/GB) and binary (KiB/MiB/GiB) units stay distinct.
Common pairs
Live conversionExact basis: decimal units use powers of 1000, binary units use powers of 1024, and 1 B = 8 b. Storage sizes cannot be negative. Commas and scientific notation are supported (for example 1,234.5 or 1e-3).
Conversion updates automatically as you change value, units, or precision.
Advanced options
Batch conversion
Convert multiple values only when you need them, without crowding the main workflow.

Formula and exact relation
- 1 GB = 0.931322574615 GiB
- 1 GiB = 1.073741824 GB
Formula form: GiB = GB × 0.931322574615. Display rounding follows your selected precision and does not change base conversion math.

Decimal vs binary references
Compare common vendor labels and memory-sized anchors without losing track of exact byte counts.
| Scenario | Decimal label | Binary label | Exact bytes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 MB vendor label | 1 MB | 0.953674 MiB | 1,000,000 B |
| 1 MiB binary block | 1.048576 MB | 1 MiB | 1,048,576 B |
| 512 GB SSD label | 512 GB | 476.837158 GiB | 512,000,000,000 B |
| 1 TB SSD label | 1 TB | 0.909495 TiB | 1,000,000,000,000 B |
| 16 GiB memory module | 17.179869 GB | 16 GiB | 17,179,869,184 B |
Formula
Converted value = Input value × (From unit to base) / (To unit to base) - Storage values are normalized to bytes internally.
- Source unit is converted into bytes first.
- Byte value is converted to the selected destination unit.
- Decimal units step by 1000, binary units step by 1024, and 1 B = 8 b.
Example
Worked example: 512 GB to GiB
- 1 Input = 512 GB
- 2 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 B and 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 B
- 3 512 × 1,000,000,000 / 1,073,741,824 = 476.837158
512 GB is about 476.837158 GiB.
How
- Enter a non-negative storage value.
- Select source and destination units, then use presets or swap when you need decimal-vs-binary reverse conversion.
- Open the detail drawer when you need byte anchors, decimal-vs-binary references, or the quick table.
- Copy the converted result or detailed report when you need to share the scenario.
Avoid
- Mixing MB and MiB as if they are the same value.
- Confusing bits (b) with bytes (B).
- Comparing decimal and binary units without unit labels.
FAQ
What is the difference between MB and MiB?
MB is decimal (1,000,000 bytes) while MiB is binary (1,048,576 bytes).
Can this convert bits to bytes?
Yes. Bit and byte units are both supported, and the converter keeps the exact 8-bit-per-byte basis visible.
Should I use decimal or binary units?
Use the unit system your storage vendor or operating system reports; this converter keeps decimal (1000-based) and binary (1024-based) labels separate.
