1 byte = 0.001 kilobytes
Convert bytes to kilobytes.

The formula
kB = B × 0.001
Worked through with a real value: 10 bytes = 0.01 kilobytes.
Going the other way: B = kB × 1000, so 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes.
What each unit is
- byte B
- Eight bits, the standard unit of computer memory and storage. A text character is roughly one byte.
- kilobyte kB
- A thousand bytes in the decimal standard. Drive manufacturers use decimal kilobytes, but Windows reports storage in binary kibibytes — this discrepancy is why your drive shows less space than advertised.
Where these come from
- 1 kilobyte = 1000 bytes
Every other number on this page is computed from those, and each category is pinned to conversions worked out by hand from the units' primary definitions before it ships.
