How to use it
- Type the value in the bytes box.
- Read the result in kibibytes as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
KiB = B × 0.0009765625
Multiply the value in bytes by 0.0009765625 to get kibibytes.
Example
To convert 25 B to kibibytes: 25 × 0.0009765625 = 0.0244141 KiB.

About the units
- Byte
- A unit of storage equal to exactly 8 bits (an octet in IEC 80000-13), typically enough to store one Latin character.
- Kibibyte
- A binary (IEC prefix) unit equal to exactly 2^10 = 1024 bytes. Many programs display it as KB.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many kibibytes are in one byte?
1 B = 0.000976563 KiB exactly.
How do I convert bytes to kibibytes?
Use KiB = B × 0.0009765625. For example, 25 B = 0.0244141 KiB.
How many bytes are in one kibibyte?
1 KiB = 1,024 B.
Why does a 1 TB drive show about 931 GB on my computer?
Drive makers count 1 TB as 10^12 bytes, while Windows divides by 2^30 and labels the result GB even though it is really GiB. So 10^12 ÷ 1,073,741,824 gives about 931.32, and no space is missing.
What is the difference between a kilobyte and a kibibyte?
A kilobyte (kB) is a decimal unit of 1000 bytes and a kibibyte (KiB) is a binary unit of 1024 bytes. The same split applies to mega and mebi, giga and gibi, and the gap grows at each step.
