Kilobytes to bytes
1 kilobyte in bytes
1 kB = 1,000 B
B = kB × 1,000
To convert kilobytes to bytes, multiply by 1,000. 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 B = kB × 1,000. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.
Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
Common questions
- How many bytes are in one kilobyte?
- One kilobyte equals 1,000 bytes. B = kB × 1,000.
- How do you convert kilobytes to bytes?
- Use B = kB × 1,000. So 10 kB is 10,000 B.
- How many kilobytes are in one byte?
- One byte equals 0.001 kilobytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
- Is there more than one kind of kilobyte?
- Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
