Unit Information

Kilobit (Kb)

Definition

A kilobit (symbol: Kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits. It follows the SI decimal prefix 'kilo', which represents 10^3. It should not be confused with the kibibit (Kib), which is a binary unit equal to 1,024 bits.

Current Use

Kilobits are primarily used to measure low-speed data transfer rates, such as early dial-up modem speeds or low-bitrate audio streams (kbps).

Kilobyte (KB)

Definition

A kilobyte (symbol: KB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bytes. While some older operating systems use 'KB' to mean 1,024 bytes (a kibibyte), the SI standard defines it as exactly 1,000 bytes.

Current Use

Kilobytes are used to measure the size of very small files, such as simple text documents, small icons, or metadata within larger files.
