# Unit converter for engineers

Convert between bytes and gibibytes, bits per second and GB per day, and nanoseconds and years.

## How it works

Decimal units (KB, MB, GB) step by 1,000; binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB) step by 1,024. Network rates are in bits; storage is in bytes.

## Questions

### GB or GiB?

Disks are sold in GB; operating systems and Kubernetes often show GiB, which is 7% bigger.

### How many GB a day is 1 Mbit/s?

About 10.8 GB a day.
