Binaryprefixit

Binaryprefixit is a software utility designed to convert file sizes from binary prefixes to decimal prefixes and vice versa. It is particularly useful for users who need to understand and work with data storage sizes in both binary and decimal formats. The tool is available for various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, and can be run from the command line.

The utility supports a wide range of file size units, such as bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes, exabytes, zettabytes, and yottabytes. It can handle both binary (base-2) and decimal (base-10) prefixes, which are often used interchangeably but have different meanings in the context of data storage.

Binaryprefixit provides a straightforward way to convert file sizes between these two systems. For example, it can convert 1 gigabyte (base-10) to approximately 1.074 gigabytes (base-2) and vice versa. This can be particularly helpful for users who need to ensure accurate data storage calculations, especially in fields like data science, IT, and software development.

The software is open-source and can be freely downloaded and used. It is a valuable tool for anyone who needs to work with file sizes in both binary and decimal formats, providing a quick and accurate way to perform these conversions.
