How to Convert Pebibytes to Gibibytes
To convert from pebibytes (PiB) to gibibytes (GiB), you multiply the value in pebibytes by 1,024. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 PiB = 2⁵⁰ bytes and 1 GiB = 2³⁰ bytes. For more information about pebibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our pebibytes page.
Formula
Gibibytes = Pebibytes × 1,024
or
GiB = PiB × 1,024
Examples
- 1 PiB = 1 × 1,024 = 1,024 GiB
- 10 PiB = 10 × 1,024 = 10,240 GiB
- 100 PiB = 100 × 1,024 = 102,400 GiB
- 1,000 PiB = 1,000 × 1,024 = 1,024,000 GiB

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 a gibibyte (GiB)?
A gibibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2³⁰ bytes (1,073,741,824 bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 gigabyte.
Why is there a difference between pebibytes and gibibytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-2 (binary) prefixes, where "pebi" (Pi) denotes 2⁵⁰ and "gibi" (Gi) denotes 2³⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
