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.

Kilobytes to bytes table

Common kilobyte values converted to bytes.
Kilobytes Bytes
1 kB 1,000
2 kB 2,000
3 kB 3,000
4 kB 4,000
5 kB 5,000
10 kB 10,000
15 kB 15,000
20 kB 20,000
25 kB 25,000
30 kB 30,000
40 kB 40,000
50 kB 50,000
75 kB 75,000
100 kB 100,000
250 kB 250,000
500 kB 500,000
1,000 kB 1,000,000

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.
