Convert bytes to kilobytes and kilobytes to bytes instantly. Bidirectional digital storage converter with formula and common values.
To convert bytes to kilobytes, divide by 1,024. This uses the binary convention standard in operating systems and file managers.
| Bytes | Kilobytes |
|---|---|
| 512 | 0.5000 |
| 1,024 | 1.0000 |
| 2,048 | 2.0000 |
| 5,120 | 5.0000 |
| 10,240 | 10.0000 |
| 65,536 | 64.0000 |
| 1,048,576 | 1,024.0000 |

5,120 bytes equals exactly 5 kilobytes (5,120 ÷ 1,024).
Divide the number of bytes by 1,024. For example, 5,120 bytes ÷ 1,024 = 5 KB.
In computing, a kilobyte traditionally uses binary (base-2), where 1 KB = 2^10 = 1,024 bytes. The SI decimal kilobyte (1,000 bytes) is called a kB, while the binary version is technically a kibibyte (KiB).
A plain text file with about 500 words is roughly 3,000–4,000 bytes (about 3–4 KB).
