Bytes to Kilobytes Converter
1 byte = 0.001 kilobytes
1 byte equals 0.001 kilobytes
How to convert bytes to kilobytes
Lowercase b means bit; uppercase B means byte (8 bits). Decimal kB, MB and GB use powers of 1000; binary KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1024. Choose the label that matches the source measurement.
kB = B × 0.001One byte is 0.001 kilobytes, so a single multiplication converts any value.
0.01 kB = 10 × 0.001Bytes to kilobytes conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
