How it works
Decimal: GB = MB ÷ 1000
Binary display equivalent: GiB = MiB ÷ 1024. If your input is labeled “MB” but you want the
OS-style binary display, convert MB → bytes (×1,000,000) then bytes → GiB (÷1,073,741,824).
Examples
- 1500 MB → 1.5 GB (decimal)
- 1500 MB → about 1.397 GiB (binary-equivalent)
- 500 MB → 0.5 GB (decimal)
FAQ
- Is 1 GB equal to 1000 MB or 1024 MB?
Both are used. Decimal storage units use 1 GB = 1000 MB. Binary units use 1 GiB = 1024 MiB. This tool can show both.
- Which setting should I use for file sizes?
Manufacturers and network speeds often use decimal (GB). Many operating systems display binary (GiB). If you are matching what a device shows, try the binary option.
- Can I enter decimals (e.g., 12.5 MB)?
Yes. Decimals are supported.
- Are my inputs stored?
No. This converter runs locally in your browser.
