How to Convert Data Storage Units
To perform a conversion, look up the target unit's conversion factor relative to the base unit (byte). Below are the exact mathematical formulas for the most common data storage unit pairs:
Megabyte to Gigabyte
GB = MB × 0.001 Gigabyte to Terabyte
TB = GB × 0.001 Kilobyte to Megabyte
MB = KB × 0.001 Byte to Kilobyte
KB = B × 0.001 Data Storage Unit Conversion Charts

Used for: File sizes, memory capacity, and storage specifications.
Kilobyte (KB)
A kilobyte (KB) is 1,000 bytes in the decimal convention used by drive manufacturers.
Used for: Small text files, config files, and metadata sizes.
Megabyte (MB)
A megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes in decimal notation.
Used for: Photos, songs, documents, and data plans (the binary MiB is sometimes used by operating systems).
Gigabyte (GB)
A gigabyte (GB) is 1,000,000,000 bytes in decimal notation.
Used for: Movies, games, phone storage, and broadband data caps.
Terabyte (TB)
