A '''kibibyte''' ('''KiB'''), derived from ''[[wikipedia:kilo-|kilo]]-[[binary]]-byte'', is a unit of digital information storage equal to 1024 [[bytes]]. This is in contrast to a [[kilobyte]], meaning 1000 bytes. The unit was established by the [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] in [[1998]] to differentiate units in base 10 from units in base 2. IEC formally added it to {{iec|60027-2|IEC 60027-2}} which was later superseded by {{iec|80000-13|IEC 80000-13}}.
