Unit Information

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.

Byte (byte)

Definition

A byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.

Current Use

The byte is the standard unit used to measure data storage and memory capacity in computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices. Most file sizes are reported in multiples of bytes (KB, MB, GB).
