Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the petabyte (PB), a decimal unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 terabytes, or 10^15 bytes.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the pebibyte (PiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 tebibytes, or 2^50 bytes.
How do I convert petabytes to pebibytes?
Multiply the petabyte value by 0.88817841970012523233890533447265625 to get pebibytes. For example, 4 PB × 0.88817841970012523233890533447265625 = 3.552713678800500929355621337890625 PiB.
Is the petabyte to pebibyte 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 pebibytes back to petabytes?
Yes. Divide the pebibyte value by 0.88817841970012523233890533447265625 to get petabytes.

About this conversion
This page converts petabytes (PB), a decimal unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 terabytes, or 10^15 bytes, into pebibytes (PiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 tebibytes, or 2^50 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 PiB = PB × 0.88817841970012523233890533447265625, 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.
