Convert Bytes to Terabytes
B to TB · digital storage conversion
What are bytes and terabytes?
A byte is 8 bits, enough to store one character of text. A terabyte is one trillion bytes, the typical capacity of a modern hard drive. For scale: a photo is a few MB, an HD movie a few GB, and a modern drive holds 1 TB or more. These use decimal (1 KB = 1,000 bytes).
How to convert bytes to terabytes
1 B = 1.0000e-12 TB. To convert, multiply the number of bytes by 1.0000e-12. For example, 5 B = 5.0000e-12 TB, and 20 B = 2.0000e-11 TB. To go the other way, multiply terabytes by 1,000,000,000,000 (since 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 B).

FAQ
What is 1 B in TB?
1 B = 1.0000e-12 TB. To convert any amount, multiply the number of bytes by 1.0000e-12.
How do I convert terabytes back to bytes?
Go the other way: 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 B, so multiply terabytes by 1,000,000,000,000 to get bytes.
Is a byte bigger than a terabyte?
No — 1 B is the smaller unit, equal to 1.0000e-12 TB (it takes 1,000,000,000,000 B to make one TB).
Are these digital storage conversions exact?
They use the standard internationally-defined conversion factors. Results are rounded to six significant figures for readability, which is accurate enough for everyday and most technical use.
