Common pitfalls and look-alike units
This page uses SI decimal units: 1 KB = 1000 B. Binary contexts use KiB (1 KiB = 1024 B). Drive makers label in decimal while operating systems often display binary, which is why a 500 GB drive shows about 465 GiB — expected, not a defect.
Frequently asked questions
How many megabytes are in a kilobyte?

How do I convert kilobytes to megabytes?
Multiply the kilobyte value by 0.001 to get megabyte — for example, 2 kilobytes = 0.002 megabyte. Note: this page uses SI decimal units (1 KB = 1000 B). Binary units (KiB/MiB, 1 KiB = 1024 B) give different values.
How do I convert megabytes back to kilobytes?
1 megabyte equals 1000 kilobyte. Use the swap button or the reverse conversion page linked on this page.
