How this works
Method
Divide kilobytes by 1,000. A 2,400 KB scanned document is 2.4 MB, so it fits under a 5 MB upload limit with room to spare. Full method

- Ask understands “5 ft 9 in to cm” and “2 cups of flour in grams” and answers at once, and a decimal comma (“2,5”) reads as 2.5.
- First published: 89 everyday units across ten quantities, with 58 pages for common pairs such as cm to inches and Celsius to Fahrenheit.
How to convert KB to MB
Divide kilobytes by 1,000. A 2,400 KB scanned document is 2.4 MB, so it fits under a 5 MB upload limit with room to spare.
If the size came from a Windows file listing, it is in kibibytes (1,024 bytes each) even though it says KB. Divide by 1,024 for mebibytes: 2,400 KiB is 2.3438 MiB. The two answers differ by about 2.4%, which only matters when a file is right at a limit.
Strictly, the SI symbol is lowercase kB; a capital K is common but informal. The binary unit is written KiB.
megabytes = kilobytes ÷ 1,000
- The SI prefix kilo means 1,000, written with a lowercase k; the binary kibi (Ki) means 1,024. Source: NIST, Prefixes for binary multiples (IEC 80000-13).
How to estimate KB to MB in your head
Move the decimal point three places left: 750 KB is 0.75 MB, 48 KB is 0.048 MB. For an upload form, think of 1,000 KB as one megabyte and you will never be more than a few percent out, whichever convention the site uses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many KB is 1 MB?
1 MB is 1,000 kB. One MiB is 1,024 KiB, and Windows writes that as 1,024 KB.
Is 500 KB bigger than 1 MB?
No. 500 KB is 0.5 MB, half a megabyte. Any size under 1,000 KB is less than 1 MB.
How do I make a photo smaller than 200 KB for a form?
Reduce its pixel dimensions or save it as a JPEG at a lower quality setting, then check the size again. 200 KB is 0.2 MB, so a typical phone photo of several megabytes needs to shrink by a factor of ten or more.
My file is 25,000 KB. Will it pass a 25 MB email limit?
It is exactly 25 MB in decimal units, so it sits right at the limit. Email encoding also adds about a third to attachments in transit, so compress or share a link instead.
