A common conversion that’s done when setting storage size is to calculate the correct number of Bytes and other values from the base, desired Kilobytes, Megabytes, Gigabytes, Terabytes, or even Petabytes. The calculator below enables you to enter your desired value and then easily convert to the correct number of Bytes, Kilobytes, Megabytes, and so on. You will also find below a table of common Byte conversions needed to see what those are in Gigabytes, Terabytes, and so on as well.

This type of conversion from Gigabytes (or others) to Bytes is a common task necessary when configuring various cloud services; such as Azure SQL Database or others. While many unit conversions are easily integrated within search engines, the ability to convert Byte units is not, so I created this simple calculator to help with that purpose.
