Megabytes to Bytes

Convert megabytes to bytes instantly.

About this conversion

Megabytes (MB) = 1.024 KB. Et JPEG-foto fylder typisk 2–5 MB, en musikfil (MP3) ca. 3–8 MB, og en PowerPoint-præsentation 5–20 MB. 1.024 MB er én gigabyte. 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. 1 Megabytes equals 1,048,600 bytes. The converter above calculates the result instantly — you can also swap the units to convert in the other direction.
