FAQ

What is the formula to convert KB to GB?

Divide the number of kilobytes by 1,048,576 = 1,024 × 1,024 (2²⁰): GB = KB ÷ 1,048,576. For example, 1,048,576 KB = 1 GB, 5,242,880 KB = 5 GB and 1,000,000 KB ≈ 0.95 GB.

Why is 1,000,000 KB less than 1 GB here?

Because this converter uses binary units, as Windows and RAM count: a gigabyte holds 1,024 megabytes of 1,024 kilobytes each, 1,048,576 KB in total. Drive packaging counts in decimal (SI) units, where 1 GB = 1,000,000 KB, so the same million kilobytes is 1 GB on the box and about 0.95 GB in Windows — about 4.6% fewer. No space is lost: the two scales name the same bytes differently.

How many kilobytes are in a gigabyte?

1,048,576 KB on the binary scale of this converter, the operating systems and memory specifications; the IEC names for these units are the gibibyte (GiB) and the kibibyte (KiB). On the decimal scale of drive and cloud vendors a gigabyte is 1,000,000 KB.
