256 kilobytes equals 262,144 bytes (256 × 1,024).
Multiply the number of kilobytes by 1,024. For example, 256 KB × 1,024 = 262,144 bytes.
About 256,000 characters of plain text (roughly a 40,000-word document), a low-resolution image, or a few seconds of compressed audio.
Traditionally in computing, 1 KB = 1,024 bytes (binary). The IEC standard defines 1 kibibyte (KiB) = 1,024 bytes, and 1 kilobyte (kB) = 1,000 bytes. Most operating systems use 1,024.
