Megabyte
Abbreviated as MByte, meg, or Mbit, MB is short for megabyte. An MB is a measurement of binary data. It equals 1,048,576 (220) bytes or 1,000,000 (106) bytes, depending on the device's manufacturer that stores the data.
What comes before a megabyte?
A kilobyte comes before a megabyte.
What comes after a megabyte?

Megabyte vs. other data measurements
Below is a listing of megabyte values where a megabyte is considered 1,000,000 bytes. Using this chart, you can find how many megabytes are in other measurements. For example, you can see 1,000 megabytes in a gigabyte. For measurements that are smaller than a megabyte, the decimal value is shown.
See our MiB (mebibyte) definition for a listing of kibibyte values where a megabyte equals 1,048,576 (220) bytes.
