About this conversion

Bytes (B) er grundenheden for digital data — én byte svarer til 8 bits. Et enkelt ASCII-tegn fylder 1 byte, en SMS ca. 160 bytes, og en tom tekstfil et par hundrede bytes. Kilobytes (KB) = 1.024 bytes. En simpel tekstfil fylder 1–10 KB, en e-mail uden vedhæftninger ca. 5–50 KB, og et lille Word-dokument ca. 50–200 KB. 1,024 bytes equal 1 Kilobytes. The converter above calculates the result instantly — you can also swap the units to convert in the other direction.
