Bytes to kilobytes

1 byte in kilobytes
1 B = 0.001 kB
kB = B × 0.001

To convert bytes to kilobytes, multiply by 0.001. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works

The relationship is kB = B × 0.001. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.

Common questions

How many kilobytes are in one byte?
One byte equals 0.001 kilobytes. kB = B × 0.001.
How do you convert bytes to kilobytes?
Use kB = B × 0.001. So 10 B is 0.01 kB.
How many bytes are in one kilobyte?
One kilobyte equals 1,000 bytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
Is there more than one kind of kilobyte?
Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
