How it works
Decimal: MB = KB ÷ 1000
Binary: MiB = KiB ÷ 1024
If your KB is decimal-labeled but you want an OS-style binary display,
convert KB → bytes (×1000) then bytes → MiB (÷1,048,576).
Examples
- 2048 KB → 2.048 MB (decimal)
- 2048 KB → 2.000 MiB (binary KiB→MiB)
- 512 KB → 0.512 MB (decimal)
FAQ
- Is 1 MB equal to 1000 KB or 1024 KB?
Both are used. Decimal units use 1 MB = 1000 KB. Binary units use 1 MiB = 1024 KiB. This tool can show both, depending on your selection.
- Which option matches what my computer shows?
Many systems and apps display file sizes using binary units (KiB/MiB) even when labeling them as KB/MB. If you are matching an OS display, try the binary-equivalent option.
- Can I enter decimals (e.g., 512.5 KB)?
Yes. Decimals are supported.
- Are my inputs stored?
No. This converter runs locally in your browser.
