What is a Megabyte (MB)?

A megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to one million bytes (10⁶ bytes).

The plural form is megabytes.

Why Does My Hard Drive Show Less Space? (MB vs. MiB)

While a megabyte is commonly defined as one million bytes (1,000,000 bytes), especially for data storage devices like hard drives and USB sticks, computer operating systems often use a different measurement.

In this binary system, a "megabyte" actually refers to a mebibyte (MiB), which is 2²⁰ or 1,048,576 bytes.

This difference is why a 100 MB file on your computer takes up more than 100,000,000 bytes of space, and why a hard drive advertised as 500 GB might appear as approximately 465 GB in your operating system.

What Can You Store in a Megabyte?

So, how big is a megabyte in practical terms?

To put its size into perspective, a single MB can hold a surprising amount of information depending on the file type. A megabyte is roughly equivalent to:

A 1-minute MP3 audio file at a standard bitrate.
A 4-megapixel JPEG image with typical compression.
The complete text of a medium-sized novel (around 500 pages of plain text).
A 10-second video clip in standard definition.

What's the Difference Between Megabytes (MB) and Megabits (Mb)?

It's crucial not to confuse megabytes (MB) with megabits (Mb).

A megabyte (MB) is a unit of data size used for files.

A megabit (Mb) is a unit of data transfer speed, commonly used to measure internet connection speeds.

Since there are 8 bits in 1 byte, you need to divide the megabit value by 8 to find the maximum transfer speed in megabytes per second.

For example, a 100 Mbps (megabits per second) internet connection has a maximum theoretical download speed of 12.5 MBps (megabytes per second).
