FAQ

Most common questions about KB/MB conversion and this tool.
Difference between SI (×1000) and IEC (×1024)?
SI uses base 1000 (KB, MB, GB). IEC uses base 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB). SI is more common in storage/device marketing; IEC is common for OS/RAM.
What’s the difference between bytes and bits?
Byte (B) = 8 bits (b). This tool converts byte-based units (B, KB, MB, GB, TB). If you need bits, multiply/divide by 8 (e.g., 1 MB = 8 Mb).
What does Precision do?
Precision controls the number of decimal places. Use higher precision for scientific/exact reporting; 2–4 is enough for quick checks.
Which units are supported?
B, KB, MB, GB, TB are supported. If you need PB or explicit KiB/MiB/GiB labels, they can be added later.
How to type comma values like 1,5?
The tool automatically converts comma to dot (1.5). You can paste 1,5 directly.
Is it free? Do you store any data?
This is a single-file PHP tool with no database—inputs are not stored. You can host it yourself for free.
