Kilobytes to Megabytes Converter

Convert kilobytes (kB) to megabytes (MB), with the formula, a conversion table and exact factors.

Change the values and press Calculate to work out your own figures.

Enter an amount of data, choose its unit and the unit you want. The answer is exact until it is shown, and the same value appears in every other unit.

A number, fraction (3/8), mixed number (1 1/2), scientific notation (2.5e6) or a simple sum such as 2*3.
The unit you want the answer in. Swap exchanges the two units.

How to convert kilobytes to megabytes

1 kB = 0.001 MB, so multiply by 0.001 to go from kilobytes to megabytes. Going the other way, 1 MB = 1,000 kB.

MB = kB × 0.001
kB = MB × 1,000

Worked example:

1 kB = 0.001 MB
5 × 0.001 = 0.005 MB

About the units

Kilobytes (kB)
Kilobytes, a metric unit. Decimal (SI) kilobyte = 1000^1 bytes. Many operating systems label the binary kibibyte (KiB) as 'kB'. Definition: NIST: Prefixes for binary multiples (IEC 80000-13).
Megabytes (MB)
Megabytes, a metric unit. Decimal (SI) megabyte = 1000^2 bytes. Many operating systems label the binary mebibyte (MiB) as 'MB'. Definition: NIST: Prefixes for binary multiples (IEC 80000-13).
