SI Decimal vs Binary: Why Two Different Standards?
When converting gigabytes to kibibytes, different tools may give slightly different results. This is because there are two competing standards for measuring digital storage:
| Standard | Base | 1 KB equals | Used By |
|---|---|---|---|
| SI Decimal | 1000 | 1,000 bytes | Hard drive manufacturers, macOS, network speeds |
| Binary (IEC) | 1024 | 1,024 bytes | Windows, Linux (partially), RAM specifications |
Note: Our calculator defaults to SI decimal (base 1000) to match the box label. To match Windows, toggle the standard above the converter.
