How to Convert Kilobytes to Bytes
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in kilobytes to a measurement in bytes, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 1,024 bytes/kilobyte.
Since one kilobyte is equal to 1,024 bytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:
bytes = kilobytes × 1,024
The data storage in bytes is equal to the data storage in kilobytes multiplied by 1,024.
How Many Bytes Are in a Kilobyte?
There are 1,024 bytes in a kilobyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kB = 1,024 B
Kilobytes and bytes are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilobyte?
In the International System of Quantities, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 bytes, or 103 bytes. However, the kilobyte is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibyte (KiB), which is equal to 1,024 bytes or 210 bytes in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
Kilobytes can be abbreviated as kB; for example, 1 kilobyte can be written as 1 kB.

What Is a Byte?
A byte is a group of eight binary digits or bits. Most computers use one 8-bit byte as the smallest size of addressable memory.
Multiples of bytes are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.
Bytes can be abbreviated as B; for example, 1 byte can be written as 1 B.
You can use our binary calculator to convert a number of bits to other number systems such as hex or decimal.
