- Gibibyte
- A binary unit equal to exactly 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Windows labels it as GB.
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 gibibytes are in one megabyte?
1 MB = 0.000931323 GiB exactly.
How do I convert megabytes to gibibytes?
Use GiB = MB × 0.0009313225746. For example, 25 MB = 0.0232831 GiB.
How many megabytes are in one gibibyte?
1 GiB = 1,073.74 MB.
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.
