Decimal and binary prefixes
KB, MB, GB, and TB use powers of 1000 here. KiB, MiB, GiB, and TiB use powers of 1024.
Bits versus bytes
Eight bits equal one byte. Network rates are often quoted in bits while file sizes are often shown in bytes, so the unit symbol matters.
Why labels matter
Operating systems and storage vendors do not always display capacity using the same prefix convention; Tooliyapa keeps the decimal and IEC binary names separate.
Frequently asked questions
Does conversion happen in my browser?
Yes. These value conversions run in the browser and do not require an account.
Should I verify a critical conversion?
Yes. For engineering, laboratory, medical, financial, legal, or safety-critical work, verify the unit definition and result against an authoritative standard for your context.
