How to Convert Pebibytes to Exbibytes
To convert from pebibytes (PiB) to exbibytes (EiB), you divide the value in pebibytes by 1,024. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 EiB = 2⁶⁰ bytes and 1 PiB = 2⁵⁰ bytes. For more information about pebibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our pebibytes page.
Formula
Exbibytes = Pebibytes / 1,024
or
EiB = PiB / 1,024
Examples
- 1 PiB = 1 / 1,024 = 0.0009765625 EiB
- 10 PiB = 10 / 1,024 = 0.009765625 EiB
- 100 PiB = 100 / 1,024 = 0.09765625 EiB
- 1,000 PiB = 1,000 / 1,024 = 0.9765625 EiB
When to Convert Pebibytes to Exbibytes
This conversion is useful in data storage and networking, especially when dealing with extremely large capacities where the distinction between base-10 and base-2 prefixes becomes significant.
Cloud Storage
Cloud providers often quote storage in exabytes (base-10), but the underlying systems might operate in exbibytes (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 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.
What is an exbibyte (EiB)?
An exbibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁶⁰ bytes (approximately 1.15 quintillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 exabyte.
Why is there a difference between pebibytes and exbibytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-2 (binary) prefixes, where "pebi" (Pi) denotes 2⁵⁰ and "exbi" (Ei) denotes 2⁶⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
