How to Convert Zebibytes to Yobibytes
To convert from zebibytes (ZiB) to yobibytes (YiB), you divide the value in zebibytes by 1,024. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 YiB = 2⁸⁰ bytes and 1 ZiB = 2⁷⁰ bytes. For more information about zebibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our zebibytes page.
Formula
Yobibytes = Zebibytes / 1,024
or
YiB = ZiB / 1,024
Examples
- 1 ZiB = 1 / 1,024 = 0.0009765625 YiB
- 10 ZiB = 10 / 1,024 = 0.009765625 YiB
- 100 ZiB = 100 / 1,024 = 0.09765625 YiB
- 1,000 ZiB = 1,000 / 1,024 = 0.9765625 YiB
When to Convert Zebibytes to Yobibytes
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 yobibytes (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 zebibyte (ZiB)?
A zebibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁷⁰ bytes (approximately 1.18 septillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 zettabyte.
What is a yobibyte (YiB)?
A yobibyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 2⁸⁰ bytes (approximately 1.208925819614629174706176 septillion bytes). It is part of the binary prefixes (IEC standard) and is often used in technical contexts to distinguish from the base-10 yottabyte.
Why is there a difference between zebibytes and yobibytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-2 (binary) prefixes, where "zebi" (Zi) denotes 2⁷⁰ and "yobi" (Yi) denotes 2⁸⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
