Kilobytes to Bytes Converter

1 kilobyte (kB) equals 1,000 bytes (B).

Quick answer

  • 1 kilobyte = 1,000 bytes
  • 1 byte = 0.001 kilobytes
  • Formula: B = kB × 1,000

1 kilobyte = 1,000 bytes

How to convert kilobytes to bytes

B = kB × 1,000

To convert kilobytes to bytes, multiply the number of kilobytes by 1,000.

Example: 42 kB to B

  1. Start with the value in kilobytes: 42 kB.
  2. Multiply by 1,000: 42 × 1,000 = 42,000.
  3. Result: 42 kilobytes = 42,000 bytes.

Going the other way, 1 byte = 0.001 kilobytes, so to convert bytes back to kilobytes you divide by the same number. See bytes to kilobytes.
