Unit definitions
What is a megabyte?
The megabyte (decimal) is one million bytes (1000²) under the SI convention. Photos, songs, and documents are commonly sized in megabytes. It differs from the mebibyte, which is 1,048,576 bytes.
What is a petabyte?
The petabyte (decimal) is 1000⁵ bytes, or one thousand terabytes. It is used for data-centre storage, scientific datasets, and cloud infrastructure. Large tech platforms handle many petabytes of data.
Frequently asked questions
How many petabytes are in one megabyte?
One megabyte equals 0.000000001 petabytes (1 MB = 0.000000001 PB).
How do I convert megabytes to petabytes?
Multiply the value in megabytes by 0.000000001. For example, 10 MB × 0.000000001 = 0.00000001 PB.
Which is bigger — a megabyte or a petabyte?
A petabyte is bigger: one petabyte contains 1,000,000,000 megabytes.
