About bytes and gigabytes
A byte is 8 bits. It can hold 256 different values, which is enough to store one letter or digit of basic text.
A gigabyte (GB) is 1,024 megabytes in this converter. Phone storage, memory and data plans are often given in gigabytes.
How the conversion works
Converts bytes to gigabytes, and back again. Type a value in either box and the other one updates as you type. The conversion uses 1 byte = 0.000000000931323 gigabytes.

How to use it
- Enter a value in bytes to see it in gigabytes, or type in the other box to convert the opposite way.
- Check the quick conversion table below for common values.
- To convert by hand, multiply the number of bytes by 0.000000000931323.
Did you know?
- The word byte was coined in 1956 and deliberately spelled with a y so it would not be mistaken for bit.
- Storage makers usually count a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, which is why a new drive can show less space than advertised.
