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.

What is Megabyte?

The megabyte is a unit of digital data equal to 1,000 kilobytes (one million bytes). A typical MP3 music file is 3 to 5 MB, and a high-resolution photo is about 3 to 10 MB. Email services commonly set attachment limits around 25 MB. In the early days of computing, the standard floppy disk held 1.44 MB, and megabytes were the primary measure of hard drive capacity.
