Gigabyte
A gigabyte (GB) is a widely used unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 megabytes or 1 billion bytes. It is the standard measurement for device capacity such as smartphones, USB drives, game installations, and operating system downloads. Gigabytes provide a convenient scale for managing modern apps and media files, which often require significant storage space.
Because GB are associated directly with device and cloud storage, converting between gigabytes and megabytes or terabytes helps users understand how much space content will actually take up.
Kilobyte
A kilobyte (KB) is a digital storage unit equal to 1,000 bytes. It is one of the smallest data units commonly seen on computers and mobile devices, especially for text files, simple documents, and small application components. The kilobyte helps describe file sizes that are too large for bytes but still quite small in practical use.
Because computers store information in binary, kilobytes and larger units can sometimes differ slightly depending on how a device measures storage. A converter helps match these values correctly when switching between bytes, kilobytes, and megabytes.
