What is GB ↔ MB converter?

Gigabytes and megabytes can be counted two different ways: decimal (1 GB = 1000 MB), the convention drive manufacturers and ISPs use, or binary (1 GB = 1024 MB), the convention most operating systems use when reporting file and disk sizes.

How to use it

Pick decimal or binary from the dropdown, then type into either field. Mixing up the two bases is the classic reason a "500 GB" drive shows up as roughly 465 GB in Windows.

Example

Decimal: 1 GB = 1000 MB = 1,000,000 KB Binary: 1 GB = 1024 MB = 1,048,576 KB
