About gigabytes and kilobytes
A gigabyte (GB) is 1,024 megabytes in this converter. Phone storage, memory and data plans are often given in gigabytes.
A kilobyte (KB) is 1,024 bytes in this converter, which follows the binary convention used by most operating systems.
How the conversion works
Converts gigabytes to kilobytes, and back again. Type a value in either box and the other one updates as you type. The conversion uses 1 gigabyte = 1,048,580 kilobytes.

Did you know?
- Storage makers usually count a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, which is why a new drive can show less space than advertised.
- In 1998 the IEC introduced the name kibibyte (KiB) for 1,024 bytes, so that kilobyte could mean exactly 1,000.
