About kilobytes and bytes

Kilobyte (kB)

A decimal kilobyte is 1,000 bytes. It is used by drive makers, operating systems that follow SI, and networking.

Byte (B)

A byte is 8 bits. It is the basic unit of file sizes and memory.

Both are units of digital information; the base unit used internally is bit.

Notes

kB to B FAQs

How do I convert kilobytes to bytes?

Multiply the number of kilobytes by 1000 to get bytes. For example, 25 kB × 1000 = 25000 B.

How many bytes are in one kilobyte?

1 kB = 1000 B and 1 B = 0.001 kB. To go the other way, use the bytes to kilobytes converter.

How many bytes are in 4 kilobytes?

4 kB = 4000 B, rounded to 6 significant digits. Change the value in the converter above for any other amount.

How many bytes are in 32 kilobytes?

32 kB = 32000 B, rounded to 6 significant digits.

What is the difference between kilobytes and bytes?

A decimal kilobyte is 1,000 bytes. It is used by drive makers, operating systems that follow SI, and networking. A byte is 8 bits. It is the basic unit of file sizes and memory.

What is the difference between decimal (GB) and binary (GiB) units?

Decimal units (kB, MB, GB, TB) count in powers of 1,000 and binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB) count in powers of 1,024. For example 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes but 1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Here kB is decimal (powers of 1,000) and B is a base unit.
