How it works
Convert bits and bytes with explicit decimal and binary prefixes. MB means 1,000,000 bytes; MiB means 1,048,576 bytes.
Inputs and units
| Input | Example value | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Value | 100 | Enter a numeric value. Use a non-negative value. |
| From unit | B | Check the selected option before calculating. |
| To unit | bit | Check the selected option before calculating. |

Reading the result
Check the definitions of the source and target units. A conversion changes the representation of a measurement; it does not measure the quantity again. Round at the final step if you will reuse the result.
Questions and answers
Can I use the example values for my own calculation?
The example values illustrate the calculation. Replace every input with your own information, especially dates, rates and the selected operation.
Which unit convention is used?
Convert bits and bytes with explicit decimal and binary prefixes. MB means 1,000,000 bytes; MiB means 1,048,576 bytes.
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
