How it is calculated
PB = GB × 0.000001
Multiply the value in gigabytes by 0.000001 to get petabytes.
Example
To convert 25 GB to petabytes: 25 × 0.000001 = 0.000025 PB.

About the units
- Gigabyte
- A decimal unit equal to exactly 10^9 bytes, the unit used by drive makers and mobile data plans.
- Petabyte
- A decimal unit equal to exactly 10^15 bytes, which is 1000 decimal terabytes.
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 petabytes are in one gigabyte?
1 GB = 0.000001 PB exactly.
How do I convert gigabytes to petabytes?
Use PB = GB × 0.000001. For example, 25 GB = 0.000025 PB.
How many gigabytes are in one petabyte?
1 PB = 1,000,000 GB.
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.
