## How the conversion works

The relationship is kB = KiB × 1.024. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

> Kibibyte: Binary: 1,024 bytes.

> Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.

## Common questions

### How many kilobytes are in one kibibyte?

One kibibyte equals 1.024 kilobytes. kB = KiB × 1.024.

### How do you convert kibibytes to kilobytes?

Use kB = KiB × 1.024. So 10 KiB is 10.24 kB.

### How many kibibytes are in one kilobyte?

One kilobyte equals 0.97656 kibibytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.

### Is there more than one kind of kibibyte?

Binary: 1,024 bytes. Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
