This template interprets a numbered input string (in bytes) and converts it into a specified output filesize. For a logical use-case, see Template:Infobox template.

Copy and Paste

{{Datacalc | 1 = | output = }}

Usage & Preview

{{Datacalc}}

Parameter	Description	Example	Preview
No parameters	Template defaults to displaying 0 bytes	N/A	0 bytes
{{{1}}}	Input string, interpreted by default as bytes.	| 1 = 1000	1000 bytes
{{{id}}}	Specifies what to do with the identifier.	| id = abbreviate | id = none	1000 B 1000
{{{prefix}}}	Unit prefix; determinant for exponential power.	| prefix = binary	0.9765625 kibibytes
{{{round}}}	Used to round up the output string to the specified power.	| round = 2	0.98 kibibytes
{{{output}}}	Output filesize, i.e.: kilobytes.	| output = kb	1 kilobytes

Examples

Non-exponential input
1 kilobytes
input: {{datacalc|1000|output=kb}}

Non-exponential input by the second power
0.9765625 kibibytes
input: {{datacalc|1000|output=kb|prefix=binary}}

Exponential input
1 kilobytes
input: {{datacalc|10^3|output=kb}}

Exponential input by the second power
0.9765625 kibibytes
input: {{datacalc|10^3|output=kb|prefix=binary}}

Filesize with the unit identifier abbreviated
1 kB
input: {{datacalc|1000|output=kb|id=abbreviate}}

Filesize without the unit identifier
1
input: {{datacalc|1000|output=kb|id=none}}

Rounded up to 1^1/2 power
1 kibibytes
input: {{datacalc|1000|output=kb|prefix=binary|round=1.5}}

Rounded up to the second power
0.98 kibibytes
input: {{datacalc|1000|output=kb|prefix=binary|round=2}}
