GB is a decimal (SI) unit—what storage manufacturers advertise. 1 GB = 1,000 of the smaller unit. Check out our GB to Petabits converter.
KiB is a binary (IEC) unit—what operating systems often display. 1 KiB = 1,024 of the smaller unit. Learn more: Exabytes to Kibibytes conversion.
1 GB = 976,562.5 KiB (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 976,562.5kibibytes in every gigabyte.
GB to KiB Conversion Formula
// Convert GB to KiB
KiB = GB × 976,562.5
// Reverse: Convert KiB to GB

What Is a Gigabyte (GB)? Definition and Uses
A gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes or 1,000,000,000 bytes using the SI decimal standard. This is what hard drive manufacturers typically use. Try the convert Kibibits to Yobibits.
The gigabyte is a SI decimal unit of digital information storage. It uses base 1,000 following the SI (International System of Units) standard. You might also need: Yobibits Per Second to Bits Per Second calculator.
Common uses: Movies, video games, smartphone storage, USB drives, cloud storage plans You might also need: Gigabytes to Exbibits converter.
1 GB = 8 × 10⁹ bits = 1 × 10⁹ bytes.
The gigabyte can be abbreviated as GB; for example, 1 gigabyte can be written as 1 GB.
What Is a Kibibyte (KiB)? Definition and Uses
A kibibyte is 1,024 bytes using the IEC binary standard. More accurately represents computer memory addressing. Check out our Pebibits to Kibibytes.
The kibibyte is a IEC binary unit of digital information storage. It uses base 1,024 following the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard. See also: PB → PiB.
Common uses: RAM specifications, operating system file sizes, memory allocation See also: convert Tibps to Tbps.
1 KiB = 8,192 bits = 1,024 bytes.
The kibibyte can be abbreviated as KiB; for example, 1 kibibyte can be written as 1 KiB.

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 at the top of the calculator.
