File Size Converter
Why does a “500 GB” drive show 465 GB? Because manufacturers use decimal units and many operating systems show binary units. This converter shows both side by side so you can compare like with like.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between MB and MiB?
A megabyte (MB) is 1,000,000 bytes. A mebibyte (MiB) is 1,048,576 bytes (1024 × 1024). Windows labels MiB as “MB”, which causes the confusion.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Only its size is read by the browser; the content is not opened.
