Decimal 1000
SI decimal uses KB=1000B, MB=1000²B, GB=1000³B, and TB=1000⁴B. This convention is common in storage-device labeling.

HOW TO USE
How to use
- 01
Choose Data or Cooking.
- 02
For Data, choose Decimal 1000 or Binary 1024 first.
- 03
Enter a value and choose the From and To units for an instant result.
- 04
Compare bit, byte, KB, MB, GB, TB or cup, tbsp, tsp, and mL in the common-unit summary.
- 05
Swap units, adjust display precision, or copy the current result when needed.
REFERENCE GUIDE
Keep decimal, binary, and cooking references explicit
Data uses separate decimal/binary conventions, while cooking keeps a visible 240/15/5 mL reference.Binary 1024
Binary increases by factors of 1024. The interface also shows KiB, MiB, GiB, and TiB notation to make the chosen basis explicit.
Bit vs byte
1 byte=8 bits. Lowercase b and uppercase B mean different things, which matters when comparing network rates with file sizes.
Why displayed capacity differs
The same byte count produces different displayed numbers under 1000 and 1024 bases. That difference does not mean data has disappeared.
Cooking reference
This tool uses 1 cup=240mL, 1 tbsp=15mL, and 1 tsp=5mL. A unit named cup can differ by country or recipe convention.
Cooking quick reference
Under this reference, 1 cup=16 tbsp=48 tsp and 1 tbsp=3 tsp. If a recipe explicitly uses another regional standard, follow that recipe standard.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Important notes
- KB, MB, GB, and TB can be used with different conventions, so the selected 1000/1024 basis is always shown.
- 1 byte equals 8 bits. Bit and byte are different units and their letter case matters.
- Binary 1024 mode also uses KiB, MiB, GiB, and TiB labels to make the IEC meaning explicit.
- Cooking uses the FDA nutrition-labeling reference: 1 cup=240mL, 1 tbsp=15mL, and 1 tsp=5mL.
- Cup, tablespoon, and teaspoon definitions can differ by region or recipe convention, so the reference is shown on screen.
- Cup-to-gram conversion is excluded because ingredient density is required.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Is 1 GB equal to 1024 MB?+
It depends on the selected basis. Decimal mode uses 1 GB=1000 MB; binary mode labels the equivalent relation as 1 GiB=1024 MiB.
02How many bits are in a byte?+
1 byte equals 8 bits.
03How many mL are in a cup?+
This tool uses the FDA nutrition-labeling reference of 1 cup=240mL. Regional recipe cups may differ.
04Can I convert cups to grams?+
Not by default. Weight depends on the density of the ingredient.
05Is the 1024 basis more accurate?+
No. It is a different notation convention, not a question of accuracy.
