KiloBytes
A kilobyte is equivalent to 1,024 bytes, often used to measure the size of small files like text documents or icons. It’s the first notable step up from the byte, giving a more practical way to describe data that involves text, simple graphics, or small images. Understanding kilobytes helps when considering storage for email attachments, photos, and more.
MegaBytes
A megabyte consists of 1,024 kilobytes, or approximately one million bytes. It is a common unit for measuring the size of larger files, such as digital photos, songs, or documents. The megabyte is used to provide a more comprehensible way of quantifying data that can easily be understood by everyday users of digital devices.
