MB to GB Converter

About This Tool

This converter computes gigabytes from megabytes using the binary standard (1 GB = 1024 MB). It targets engineers, system administrators, and data planners who need fast, deterministic conversions for capacity planning, backup sizing, and data-transfer budgeting. The tool supports decimal inputs with fractional megabytes, enables precise results, and avoids rounding ambiguity by applying fixed 2-decimal formatting in the output when presenting GB values.
Core operation is a straightforward MB → GB conversion using MB ÷ 1024. The optional reverse capability (GB × 1024 → MB) is designed into the workflow. Validation ensures non-negative numbers; extremely large values are accommodated within typical double-precision limits. The unit context is binary-based; if decimal-based unit naming is required (MB vs MiB), the tool can be extended, but current spec uses MB/GB.
Core features include a primary MB input field, a calculate action, and a GB output with two-decimal formatting. Optional advanced features include batch conversions via API and extension to additional prefixes (KB, TB) in future releases. Typical use cases include estimating storage for files, virtual machines, backups, and validating data-transfer budgets. The differentiator is accurate binary conversion, minimal UI with developer-friendly semantics, and deterministic results for reproducible planning.
