KB to Bytes
Converts kilobytes to bytes using both 1000 and 1024 and shows both answers exactly.
To convert kilobytes to bytes, multiply the number by 1,000 or by 1,024. School computer science courses use the convention that 1 KB equals 1,024 bytes, so 8 KB equals 8,192 bytes.
If you need bits, multiply the bytes by 8: one kilobyte contains 8,192 bits under the school convention.
Formula
By 1,000: bytes = KB × 1,000. By 1,024: bytes = KB × 1,024.
