Word to Byte Converter

Word

A word in information technology is the group of a fixed size that a computer can manipulate as a unit. The number of bits in a word varies with the hardware design, and is typically between 8 and 80 bits, or even more in some specialized computers. In the 21st century, retail personal or server computers have a word size of 32 or 64 bits.

Byte

The byte (symbol: upper-case letter B) is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits. Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer. Thus the byte is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.
