A kibibyte (KiB), derived from kilo-binary, is a unit of digital information storage equal to 1024 bytes. This is in contrast to a kilobyte, meaning 1000 bytes.


Equation 1 KiB equals 2 Superscript 10 Baseline bytes equals 1024 bytes equals 8192 bits


The unit was established by the International Electrotechnical Commission in 1998 to differentiate units in base 10 from units in base 2.
