About mebibytes and bytes
The Conversion Formula
To convert mebibytes to bytes, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 MiB = 1048576 B. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 MiB to bytes: 25 × 1048576 = 26214400 B. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 1048576, or equivalently multiply by 9.5367e-7.
About mebibytes
The Mebibyte (MiB) is 1,024 x 1,024 bytes. When Windows says a file is '100 MB', it actually means '100 MiB'. This difference explains why file sizes look different on Mac (decimal) vs Windows (binary). mebibytes are commonly used in Windows Explorer, Memory mapping, Partition tables, and other fields.
1 MiB is roughly 1.05 MB.
About bytes
The Byte (B) is the fundamental unit of digital storage. Historically, it was the number of bits needed to encode one character of text (8 bits). Everything from text files to 8K video is ultimately just a massive pile of Bytes. bytes are commonly used in File sizes, Disk capacity, RAM size, and Programming data types.
The word 'Hello' takes up 5 Bytes.
When Would You Convert mebibytes to bytes?
Converting between mebibytes and bytes is one of the most common digital storage conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 MiB = 1048576 B) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
