Kilobit
A kilobit (Kb) is a digital unit equal to 1,000 bits. It is commonly used in networking and telecommunications to measure data transfer rates. Because bits alone are too small for practical measurement, kilobits help express speeds in a way that is easier to understand without overwhelming numbers.
Kilobits fit naturally into the decimal-based structure used by most internet service providers. They relate closely to higher units like megabits, but converting to bytes or megabytes requires careful calculation, which makes a converter very useful.
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.
