How to Convert Terabytes to Gigabytes
To convert terabytes to gigabytes, multiply by 1,000 (using SI decimal). Both units measure storage capacity—the difference is scale. Learn more: how many TB in Gigabytes.
TB: A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Common size for modern hard drives and SSDs. Use our how many Exbibytes in a TB.
GB: 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. Learn more: calculate MiB to GB.
1 TB = 1,000 GB (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 1,000gigabytes in every terabyte.
TB to GB Conversion Formula
// Convert TB to GB
GB = TB × 1,000
// Reverse: Convert GB to TB
TB = GB × 0.001
Terabyte to Gigabyte Conversion Examples
100 TB = 100,000 GB
256 TB = 256,000 GB
500 TB = 500,000 GB
1,000 TB = 1,000,000 GB
2,048 TB = 2,048,000 GB
Binary Standard (Base 1024)
Using binary calculation: 1 TB = 1,024 GB
100 TB = 102,400 GB
1,000 TB = 1,024,000 GB
1,024 TB = 1,048,576 GB
What Is a Terabyte?
A terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes or 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Common size for modern hard drives and SSDs. You might also need: KB to PiB conversion rate.
The terabyte is a SI decimal unit of digital information storage. It uses base 1,000 following the SI (International System of Units) standard. Check out our converting Kibibytes Per Second to Mebibits Per Second.
Common uses: External hard drives, NAS storage, video libraries, enterprise backups See also: Terabytes in Mebibytes.
1 TB = 8 × 10¹² bits = 1 × 10¹² bytes.
The terabyte can be abbreviated as TB; for example, 1 terabyte can be written as 1 TB.

SI Decimal vs Binary: Why Two Different Standards?
When converting terabytes to gigabytes, 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.
