How can I convert byte size into a human-readable format in Java?
JavaFormattingApache CommonsJava Problem Overview
How can I convert byte size into a human-readable format in Java?
Like 1024 should become "1 Kb" and 1024*1024 should become "1 Mb".
I am kind of sick of writing this utility method for each project. Is there a static method in Apache Commons for this?

SI (1 k = 1,000)
public static String humanReadableByteCountSI(long bytes) {
if (-1000 < bytes && bytes < 1000) {
return bytes + " B";
}
CharacterIterator ci = new StringCharacterIterator("kMGTPE");
while (bytes <= -999_950 || bytes >= 999_950) {
bytes /= 1000;
ci.next();
}
return String.format("%.1f %cB", bytes / 1000.0, ci.current());
}
Binary (1 Ki = 1,024)
public static String humanReadableByteCountBin(long bytes) {
long absB = bytes == Long.MIN_VALUE ? Long.MAX_VALUE : Math.abs(bytes);
if (absB < 1024) {
return bytes + " B";
}
long value = absB;
CharacterIterator ci = new StringCharacterIterator("KMGTPE");
for (int i = 40; i >= 0 && absB > 0xfffccccccccccccL >> i; i -= 10) {
value >>= 10;
ci.next();
}
value *= Long.signum(bytes);
return String.format("%.1f %ciB", value / 1024.0, ci.current());
}
Example output:
SI BINARY
0: 0 B 0 B
27: 27 B 27 B

Solution 2 - Java
FileUtils.byteCountToDisplaySize(long size) would work if your project can depend on org.apache.commons.io.
Solution 3 - Java
Use an Android built-in class
For Android, there is a class, Formatter. Just one line of code and you are done.
android.text.format.Formatter.formatShortFileSize(activityContext, bytes);
It is like formatFileSize(), but trying to generate shorter numbers (showing fewer decimals).
android.text.format.Formatter.formatFileSize(activityContext, bytes);
It formats a content size to be in the form of bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc.
Solution 4 - Java
We can completely avoid using the slow Math.pow() and Math.log() methods without sacrificing simplicity since the factor between the units (for example, B, KB, MB, etc.) is 1024 which is 2^10. The Long class has a handy numberOfLeadingZeros() method which we can use to tell which unit the size value falls in.
Key point: Size units have a distance of 10 bits (1024 = 2^10) meaning the position of the highest one bit–or in other words the number of leading zeros–differ by 10 (Bytes = KB*1024, KB = MB*1024, etc.).
Correlation between number of leading zeros and size unit:
# of leading 0's Size unit
-------------------------------
>53 B (Bytes)
>43 KB
>33 MB
>23 GB
>13 TB
>3 PB
<=2 EB
The final code:
public static String formatSize(long v) {
if (v < 1024) return v + " B";
int z = (63 - Long.numberOfLeadingZeros(v)) / 10;
return String.format("%.1f %sB", (double)v / (1L << (z*10)), " KMGTPE".charAt(z));
}
Solution 5 - Java
I asked the same question recently:
Format file size as MB, GB, etc.
While there is no out-of-the-box answer, I can live with the solution:
private static final long K = 1024;
private static final long M = K * K;
private static final long G = M * K;
private static final long T = G * K;
public static String convertToStringRepresentation(final long value){
final long[] dividers = new long[] { T, G, M, K, 1 };
final String[] units = new String[] { "TB", "GB", "MB", "KB", "B" };
if(value < 1)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid file size: " + value);
String result = null;
for(int i = 0; i < dividers.length; i++){
final long divider = dividers[i];
if(value >= divider){
result = format(value, divider, units[i]);
break;
}
}
return result;
}
private static String format(final long value,
final long divider,
final String unit){
final double result =
divider > 1 ? (double) value / (double) divider : (double) value;
return new DecimalFormat("#,##0.#").format(result) + " " + unit;
}
Test code:
public static void main(final String[] args){
final long[] l = new long[] { 1l, 4343l, 43434334l, 3563543743l };
for(final long ll : l){
System.out.println(convertToStringRepresentation(ll));
}
}
Output (on my German locale):
1 B
4,2 KB
41,4 MB
3,3 GB
I have opened an issue requesting this functionality for Google Guava. Perhaps someone would care to support it.

If you use Android, you can simply use android.text.format.Formatter.formatFileSize(). The advantage is that it's easy to use it, and it depends on the locale to show it nicely for the user. The disadvantage is that it doesn't handle EB, and that it's only used for the metric units (each Kilo is 1000 bytes, without the ability to use it as 1024 bytes).
Alternatively, here's a solution based on this popular post:
interface BytesFormatter {
/**called when the type of the result to format is Long. Example: 123KB
* @param unitPowerIndex the unit-power we need to format to. Examples: 0 is bytes, 1 is kb, 2 is mb, etc...
* available units and their order: B,K,M,G,T,P,E
* @param isMetric true if each kilo==1000, false if kilo==1024
* */
fun onFormatLong(valueToFormat: Long, unitPowerIndex: Int, isMetric: Boolean): String
/**called when the type of the result to format is Double. Example: 1.23KB

/**

*
* @param isMetric true if each kilo==1000, false if kilo==1024

fun bytesIntoHumanReadable(
@IntRange(from = 0L) bytesToFormat: Long, bytesFormatter: BytesFormatter,
isMetric: Boolean = true
): String {
val units = if (isMetric) 1000L else 1024L
if (bytesToFormat < units)
return bytesFormatter.onFormatLong(bytesToFormat, 0, isMetric)
var bytesLeft = bytesToFormat
var unitPowerIndex = 0
while (unitPowerIndex < 6) {
val newBytesLeft = bytesLeft / units

val byteLeftAsDouble = bytesLeft.toDouble() / units

Byte Units allows you to do it like this:
long input1 = 1024;
long input2 = 1024 * 1024;
Assert.assertEquals("1 KiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input1));
Assert.assertEquals("1 MiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input2));
Assert.assertEquals("1.024 KB", DecimalByteUnit.format(input1, "#.0"));
Assert.assertEquals("1.049 MB", DecimalByteUnit.format(input2, "#.000"));
NumberFormat format = new DecimalFormat("#.#");
Assert.assertEquals("1 KiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input1, format));
Assert.assertEquals("1 MiB", BinaryByteUnit.format(input2, format));
I have written another library called storage-units that allows you to do it like this:
String formattedUnit1 = StorageUnits.formatAsCommonUnit(input1, "#");
String formattedUnit2 = StorageUnits.formatAsCommonUnit(input2, "#");
String formattedUnit3 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input1);
String formattedUnit4 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input2);
String formattedUnit5 = StorageUnits.formatAsDecimalUnit(input1, "#.00", Locale.GERMAN);
String formattedUnit6 = StorageUnits.formatAsDecimalUnit(input2, "#.00", Locale.GERMAN);
String formattedUnit7 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input1, format);
String formattedUnit8 = StorageUnits.formatAsBinaryUnit(input2, format);
Assert.assertEquals("1 kB", formattedUnit1);
Assert.assertEquals("1 MB", formattedUnit2);
Assert.assertEquals("1.00 KiB", formattedUnit3);
Assert.assertEquals("1.00 MiB", formattedUnit4);
Assert.assertEquals("1,02 kB", formattedUnit5);
Assert.assertEquals("1,05 MB", formattedUnit6);
Assert.assertEquals("1 KiB", formattedUnit7);
Assert.assertEquals("1 MiB", formattedUnit8);
In case you want to force a certain unit, do this:
String formattedUnit9 = StorageUnits.formatAsKibibyte(input2);
String formattedUnit10 = StorageUnits.formatAsCommonMegabyte(input2);
Assert.assertEquals("1024.00 KiB", formattedUnit9);
Assert.assertEquals("1.00 MB", formattedUnit10);

org.springframework.util.unit.DataSize could suit this requirement at least for the calculation. Then a simple decorator will do.
Solution 14 - Java
There is now one library available that contains unit formatting. I added it to the triava library, as the only other existing library seems to be one for Android.
It can format numbers with arbitrary precision, in 3 different systems (SI, IEC, JEDEC) and various output options. Here are some code examples from the triava unit tests:
UnitFormatter.formatAsUnit(1126, UnitSystem.SI, "B");
// = "1.13kB"
UnitFormatter.formatAsUnit(2094, UnitSystem.IEC, "B");
// = "2.04KiB"
Printing exact kilo, mega values (here with W = Watt):
UnitFormatter.formatAsUnits(12_000_678, UnitSystem.SI, "W", ", ");
// = "12MW, 678W"
You can pass a DecimalFormat to customize the output:
UnitFormatter.formatAsUnit(2085, UnitSystem.IEC, "B", new DecimalFormat("0.0000"));
// = "2.0361KiB"
For arbitrary operations on kilo or mega values, you can split them into components:
UnitComponent uc = new UnitComponent(123_345_567_789L, UnitSystem.SI);
int kilos = uc.kilo(); // 567
int gigas = uc.giga(); // 123

Yet another concise solution without loop but with locale-sensitive formatting and correct binary prefixes:
import java.util.Locale;
public final class Bytes {
private Bytes() {
}
public static String format(long value, Locale locale) {
if (value < 1024) {
return value + " B";
}
int z = (63 - Long.numberOfLeadingZeros(value)) / 10;
return String.format(locale, "%.1f %siB", (double) value / (1L << (z * 10)), " KMGTPE".charAt(z));
}
}
Test:
Locale locale = Locale.getDefault()
System.out.println(Bytes.format(1L, locale))
System.out.println(Bytes.format(2L * 1024, locale))
System.out.println(Bytes.format(3L * 1024 * 1024, locale))
System.out.println(Bytes.format(4L * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, locale))
System.out.println(Bytes.format(5L * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, locale))
System.out.println(Bytes.format(6L * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024, locale))
System.out.println(Bytes.format(Long.MAX_VALUE, locale))

bytes /= 1000;
ci.next();
}
return String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%.1f %cB", bytes / 1000.0, ci.current());
}
Because i want to see another output :

For kotlin lover use this extension
fun Long.readableFormat(): String {
if (this <= 0 ) return "0"
val units = arrayOf("B", "kB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
val digitGroups = (log10(this.toDouble()) / log10(1024.0)).toInt()
return DecimalFormat("#,##0.#").format(this / 1024.0.pow(digitGroups.toDouble())).toString() + " " + units[digitGroups]
}
Now use
val size : Long = 90836457
val readbleString = size.readableFormat()
Another approach
val Long.formatSize : String
get() {
if (this <= 0) return "0"
val units = arrayOf("B", "kB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
val digitGroups = (log10(this.toDouble()) / log10(1024.0)).toInt()
return DecimalFormat("#,##0.#").format(this / 1024.0.pow(digitGroups.toDouble())).toString() + " " + units[digitGroups]
}
Now use
val size : Long = 90836457
val readbleString = size.formatSize

int exp = (int)(Math.Log(bytes) / Math.Log(unit));
String pre = (SI1000orBinary1024 ? "kMGTPE" : "KMGTPE")[(exp - 1)] + (SI1000orBinary1024 ? "" : "i");
return String.Format("{0:F1} {1}B", bytes / Math.Pow(unit, exp), pre);
}
Technically speaking, if we stick to SI units, this routine works for any regular use of numbers. There are many other good answers from experts. Suppose you are doing databinding of numbers on gridviews, it's worth to check out performance optimized routines from them.
PS: This was posted because this question/answer came up on top on a Google search while I was doing a C# project.

Maybe you can use this code (in C#):
long Kb = 1024;
long Mb = Kb * 1024;
long Gb = Mb * 1024;
long Tb = Gb * 1024;
long Pb = Tb * 1024;
long Eb = Pb * 1024;
if (size < Kb) return size.ToString() + " byte";
if (size < Mb) return (size / Kb).ToString("###.##") + " Kb.";
if (size < Gb) return (size / Mb).ToString("###.##") + " Mb.";
if (size < Tb) return (size / Gb).ToString("###.##") + " Gb.";
if (size < Pb) return (size / Tb).ToString("###.##") + " Tb.";
if (size < Eb) return (size / Pb).ToString("###.##") + " Pb.";
if (size >= Eb) return (size / Eb).ToString("###.##") + " Eb.";
return "invalid size";

Try JSR 363. Its unit extension modules like Unicode CLDR (in GitHub: uom-systems) do all that for you.
You can use MetricPrefix included in every implementation or BinaryPrefix (comparable to some of the examples above) and if you e.g. live and work in India or a nearby country, IndianPrefix (also in the common module of uom-systems) allows you to use and format "Crore Bytes" or "Lakh Bytes", too.

Use the following function to get exact information. It is generated by taking the base of the ATM_CashWithdrawl concept.
getFullMemoryUnit(): Total: [123 MB], Max: [1 GB, 773 MB, 512 KB], Free: [120 MB, 409 KB, 304 Bytes]
public static String getFullMemoryUnit(long unit) {
long BYTE = 1024, KB = BYTE, MB = KB * KB, GB = MB * KB, TB = GB * KB;
long KILO_BYTE, MEGA_BYTE = 0, GIGA_BYTE = 0, TERA_BYTE = 0;
unit = Math.abs(unit);
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
if ( unit / TB > 0 ) {
TERA_BYTE = (int) (unit / TB);
buffer.append(TERA_BYTE+" TB");
unit -= TERA_BYTE * TB;
}
if ( unit / GB > 0 ) {
GIGA_BYTE = (int) (unit / GB);
if (TERA_BYTE != 0) buffer.append(", ");
buffer.append(GIGA_BYTE+" GB");
unit %= GB;

I have just modified the code of facebookarchive-StringUtils to get the below format. The same format you will get when you use apache.hadoop-StringUtils
getMemoryUnit(): Total: [123.0 MB], Max: [1.8 GB], Free: [120.4 MB]
public static String getMemoryUnit(long bytes) {
DecimalFormat oneDecimal = new DecimalFormat("0.0");
float BYTE = 1024.0f, KB = BYTE, MB = KB * KB, GB = MB * KB, TB = GB * KB;
long absNumber = Math.abs(bytes);
double result = bytes;
String suffix = " Bytes";
if (absNumber < MB) {
result = bytes / KB;
suffix = " KB";
} else if (absNumber < GB) {
result = bytes / MB;
suffix = " MB";
} else if (absNumber < TB) {
result = bytes / GB;
suffix = " GB";
}
return oneDecimal.format(result) + suffix;
}
Example usage of the above methods:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
int availableProcessors = runtime.availableProcessors();
long heapSize = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory();
long heapMaxSize = Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory();
long heapFreeSize = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
System.out.format("Total: [%s], Max: [%s], Free: [%s]\n", heapSize, heapMaxSize, heapFreeSize);
System.out.format("getMemoryUnit(): Total: [%s], Max: [%s], Free: [%s]\n",
getMemoryUnit(heapSize), getMemoryUnit(heapMaxSize), getMemoryUnit(heapFreeSize));
System.out.format("getFullMemoryUnit(): Total: [%s], Max: [%s], Free: [%s]\n",
getFullMemoryUnit(heapSize), getFullMemoryUnit(heapMaxSize), getFullMemoryUnit(heapFreeSize));
}
Bytes to get the above format
Total: [128974848], Max: [1884815360], Free: [126248240]
In order to display time in a human-readable format, use the function millisToShortDHMS(long duration).

I usually do it in this way, what do you think?
public static String getFileSize(double size) {
return _getFileSize(size,0,1024);
}
public static String _getFileSize(double size, int i, double base) {
String units = " KMGTP";
String unit = (i>0)?(""+units.charAt(i)).toUpperCase()+"i":"";
if(size<base)
return size +" "+unit.trim()+"B";
else {
size = Math.floor(size/base);
return _getFileSize(size,++i,base);
}
}

Note:
- Above code is verbose and straightforward.
- It does not use loops (loops should be used only when you do not know how many times you need to iterate during compilation time)
- It does not make unnecessary library calls (
StringBuilder,Mathetc.)
- Above code is fast and uses very less memory. Based on benchmarks run on my personal entry-level cloud machine, it's the fastest (not that performance matters in these cases, but still)
- Above code is a modified version of one of the good answers
