How to Convert Megabytes to Kilobytes
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 megabytes to a measurement in kilobytes, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 1,024 kilobytes/megabyte.
Since one megabyte is equal to 1,024 kilobytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilobytes = megabytes × 1,024
The data storage in kilobytes is equal to the data storage in megabytes multiplied by 1,024.
How Many Kilobytes Are in a Megabyte?
There are 1,024 kilobytes in a megabyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 MB = 1,024 kB
Megabytes and kilobytes are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Megabyte?
In the International System of Quantities, one megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, or 106 bytes. However, the megabyte is commonly used interchangeably with the mebibyte (MiB), which is equal to 1,048,576 bytes or 220 bytes in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one megabyte is equal to 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes.
Megabytes can be abbreviated as MB; for example, 1 megabyte can be written as 1 MB.

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.
