How to Convert Zebibytes to Zettabytes
To convert from zebibytes (ZiB) to zettabytes (ZB), you multiply the value in zebibytes by 1.180591620717411303424. This conversion is derived from the fact that 1 ZB = 10²¹ bytes and 1 ZiB = 2⁷⁰ bytes. For more information about zebibytes as a unit of measurement, visit our zebibytes page.
Formula
Zettabytes = Zebibytes × 1.180591620717411303424
or
ZB = ZiB × 1.180591620717411303424
Examples
- 1 ZiB = 1 × 1.180591620717411303424 = 1.180591620717411303424 ZB
- 10 ZiB = 10 × 1.180591620717411303424 = 11.80591620717411303424 ZB
- 100 ZiB = 100 × 1.180591620717411303424 = 118.0591620717411303424 ZB
- 1,000 ZiB = 1,000 × 1.180591620717411303424 = 1180.591620717411303424 ZB
When to Convert Zebibytes to Zettabytes
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 zettabytes (base-10), but the underlying systems might operate in zebibytes (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 zettabyte (ZB)?
A zettabyte is a unit of digital information storage, equal to 10²¹ bytes (one sextillion bytes). It is commonly used to measure extremely large amounts of data, such as in global data centers and scientific research.
Why is there a difference between zebibytes and zettabytes?
The difference arises from the use of base-10 (decimal) prefixes versus base-2 (binary) prefixes. "Zetta" (Z) denotes 10²¹, while "zebi" (Zi) denotes 2⁷⁰. This distinction is important for accurate capacity measurements in computing and data storage.
