What is Gigabyte?

The gigabyte is a unit of digital data equal to 1,000 megabytes (one billion bytes). It is the most familiar data unit in daily life, used for smartphone storage (64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB), mobile data plans (3 GB, 20 GB per month), and app sizes. A high-definition movie is roughly 4 to 5 GB, and a smartphone photo is about 3 to 5 MB, so one GB can hold roughly 200 to 300 photos.

What is Kilobyte?

The kilobyte is a unit of digital data equal to 1,000 bytes (one thousand bytes). Short text files, simple HTML pages, and plain-text emails typically measure just a few kilobytes. In the early history of computing, programs and games ran in kilobytes of memory, and the unit remains a symbol of efficient programming. Today, kilobytes are used for small configuration files, icons, and plain-text documents. This tool uses SI prefixes where 1 KB equals 1,000 bytes.
