How to convert mebibytes to gibibytes
To convert mebibytes (MiB) to gibibytes (GiB), divide the value in mebibytes by 1,024.
GiB = MiB ÷ 1,024
Example: 5 MiB = 0.0048828125 GiB.
You can also type 5 MiB to GiB into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 MiB + 1 GiB.

About the units
Mebibyte (MiB)
Exactly 1,048,576 bytes, or 1,024 KiB.
Gibibyte (GiB)
Exactly 1,073,741,824 bytes, or 1,024 MiB. What Windows displays as GB.
Digital storage is counted in bits and bytes (1 byte = 8 bits). There are two ways to count bytes. Decimal (SI) prefixes step by 1,000: 1 KB = 1,000 B and 1 GB = 1,000 MB, which is how drive makers, macOS, iOS and Android report sizes. Binary prefixes step by 1,024: 1 KB = 1,024 B and 1 GB = 1,024 MB, which is how Windows and RAM count (the IEC names for these are KiB, MiB and GiB). Bits are always decimal: 1 Kb = 1,000 b.
Questions and answers
How many gibibytes are in a mebibyte?
One mebibyte (MiB) equals 0.0009765625 gibibytes (GiB).
How do I convert mebibytes to gibibytes?
To convert mebibytes to gibibytes, divide the value in mebibytes by 1,024. The formula is GiB = MiB ÷ 1,024. For example, 5 MiB = 0.0048828125 GiB.
What is 5 MiB in GiB?
5 mebibytes is 0.0048828125 gibibytes.
Which is bigger, a mebibyte or a gibibyte?
A gibibyte is bigger: 1 GiB = 1,024 MiB.
Is 1 GB equal to 1,000 MB or 1,024 MB?
Both are in use. In decimal (SI) counting, which drive makers, macOS, iOS and Android use, 1 GB = 1,000 MB. In binary counting, which Windows and RAM use, 1 GB = 1,024 MB; the unambiguous IEC name for that size is the gibibyte (GiB). ConvertEasy has a Decimal / Binary switch so KB, MB, GB and TB follow whichever you need, while KiB, MiB and GiB are always binary.
Are kilobits 1,000 or 1,024 bits?
ConvertEasy treats bits as decimal in both modes: 1 Kb = 1,000 b, 1 Mb = 1,000 Kb. A byte is always 8 bits, so only byte units (KB, MB, GB…) change with the switch.
Does this MiB to GiB converter work offline?
Yes. ConvertEasy is a progressive web app: after your first visit it keeps working with no connection, and you can install it to your home screen from the browser menu.
