Kilobytes to Megabytes (KB to MB)
Convert kilobytes to megabytes: 1 KB = 0.001 MB. Exact conversion factor, formula, 18-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 KB = 0.001 MB
megabytes = kilobytes × 0.001 — reverse: kilobytes = megabytes × 1000
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: B) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 1.5 KB = 0.0015 MB
- 700 KB = 0.7 MB
- 2048 KB = 2.048 MB

FAQ
How many megabytes are in one kilobyte?
1 KB = 0.001 MB. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.
What is the formula to convert kilobytes to megabytes?
Multiply the value in kilobytes by 0.001: megabytes = kilobytes × 0.001. For example, 1.5 KB = 0.0015 MB.
How do I convert megabytes back to kilobytes?
Multiply by the inverse factor 1000 (kilobytes = megabytes × 1000), or use the megabytes-to-kilobytes page.
