Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the megabyte (MB), a decimal unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 kilobytes, or 10^6 bytes.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the kibibyte (KiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 bytes, or 2^10 bytes.
How do I convert megabytes to kibibytes?
Multiply the megabyte value by 976.5625 to get kibibytes. For example, 4 MB × 976.5625 = 3906.25 KiB.
Is the megabyte to kibibyte conversion exact?
It's exact given the fixed definitions used here: decimal storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,000, while binary storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,024. The two scales are related by an exact factor, but they should not be confused with each other in casual usage, since a decimal and a binary unit with a similar-looking name represent different amounts of data.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It's used for describing file sizes, storage drive capacity, RAM, network bandwidth, and internet data plans or downloads.
Can I convert kibibytes back to megabytes?

About this conversion
This page converts megabytes (MB), a decimal unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 kilobytes, or 10^6 bytes, into kibibytes (KiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 bytes, or 2^10 bytes.
This conversion is used constantly when checking file sizes, storage drive and memory capacity, network bandwidth, and mobile or broadband data plan allowances.
The formula is KiB = MB × 976.5625, based on the fixed relationship between these two digital storage units.
It's exact given the fixed definitions used here: decimal storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,000, while binary storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,024. The two scales are related by an exact factor, but they should not be confused with each other in casual usage, since a decimal and a binary unit with a similar-looking name represent different amounts of data.
Digital storage prefixes follow the International System of Units (SI) for decimal units and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recommendations for binary units, keeping decimal and binary quantities unambiguous.
