How to Convert Mebibytes to Pebibytes
To convert from mebibytes (MiB) to pebibytes (PiB), you divide the value in mebibytes by 1,048,576. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 PiB = 2⁵⁰ bytes and 1 MiB = 2²⁰ bytes. For more information about mebibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our mebibytes page.
Formula
Pebibytes = Mebibytes / 1,048,576
or
PiB = MiB / 1,048,576
Examples
- 1 MiB = 1 / 1,048,576 = 9.5367431640625e-7 PiB
- 10 MiB = 10 / 1,048,576 = 9.5367431640625e-6 PiB
- 100 MiB = 100 / 1,048,576 = 9.5367431640625e-5 PiB
- 1,000 MiB = 1,000 / 1,048,576 = 0.00095367431640625 PiB
When to Convert Mebibytes to Pebibytes
This conversion is useful in data storage and networking, especially when dealing with large capacities where the distinction between base-10 and base-2 prefixes becomes significant.
Cloud Storage
Cloud providers often quote storage in petabytes (base-10), but the underlying systems might operate in pebibytes (base-2), making this conversion relevant for accurate capacity planning.
Big Data Analytics
In big data environments, understanding the true scale of data in both units can be crucial for system architects and data scientists.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mebibyte (MiB)?
A mebibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2²⁰ bytes (1,048,576 bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 megabyte.
What is a pebibyte (PiB)?
A pebibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁵⁰ bytes (approximately 1.125 quadrillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 petabyte.
Why is there a difference between mebibytes and pebibytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-2 (binary) prefixes, where "mebi" (Mi) denotes 2²⁰ and "pebi" (Pi) denotes 2⁵⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
