[java] How can I convert byte size into a human-readable format in Java?

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?

Here's a Go version. For simplicity, I've only included the binary output case.

func sizeOf(bytes int64) string {
    const unit = 1024
    if bytes < unit {
        return fmt.Sprintf("%d B", bytes)
    }

    fb := float64(bytes)
    exp := int(math.Log(fb) / math.Log(unit))
    pre := "KMGTPE"[exp-1]
    div := math.Pow(unit, float64(exp))
    return fmt.Sprintf("%.1f %ciB", fb / div, pre)
}

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);

Here is the conversion from aioobe converted to Kotlin:

/**
 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/3758880/1006741
 */
fun Long.humanReadableByteCountBinary(): String {
    val b = when (this) {
        Long.MIN_VALUE -> Long.MAX_VALUE
        else -> abs(this)
    }
    return when {
        b < 1024L -> "$this B"
        b <= 0xfffccccccccccccL shr 40 -> "%.1f KiB".format(Locale.UK, this / 1024.0)
        b <= 0xfffccccccccccccL shr 30 -> "%.1f MiB".format(Locale.UK, this / 1048576.0)
        b <= 0xfffccccccccccccL shr 20 -> "%.1f GiB".format(Locale.UK, this / 1.073741824E9)
        b <= 0xfffccccccccccccL shr 10 -> "%.1f TiB".format(Locale.UK, this / 1.099511627776E12)
        b <= 0xfffccccccccccccL -> "%.1f PiB".format(Locale.UK, (this shr 10) / 1.099511627776E12)
        else -> "%.1f EiB".format(Locale.UK, (this shr 20) / 1.099511627776E12)
    }
}

This is a modified version of aioobe's answer.

Changes:

• Locale parameter, because some languages use . and others , as decimal point.
• human-readable code

private static final String[] SI_UNITS = { "B", "kB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB", "EB" };
private static final String[] BINARY_UNITS = { "B", "KiB", "MiB", "GiB", "TiB", "PiB", "EiB" };

public static String humanReadableByteCount(final long bytes, final boolean useSIUnits, final Locale locale)
{
    final String[] units = useSIUnits ? SI_UNITS : BINARY_UNITS;
    final int base = useSIUnits ? 1000 : 1024;

    // When using the smallest unit no decimal point is needed, because it's the exact number.
    if (bytes < base) {
        return bytes + " " + units[0];
    }

    final int exponent = (int) (Math.log(bytes) / Math.log(base));
    final String unit = units[exponent];
    return String.format(locale, "%.1f %s", bytes / Math.pow(base, exponent), unit);
}

FileUtils.byteCountToDisplaySize(long size) would work if your project can depend on org.apache.commons.io.

JavaDoc for this method

public String humanReadable(long size) {
    long limit = 10 * 1024;
    long limit2 = limit * 2 - 1;
    String negative = "";
    if(size < 0) {
        negative = "-";
        size = Math.abs(size);
    }

    if(size < limit) {
        return String.format("%s%s bytes", negative, size);
    } else {
        size = Math.round((double) size / 1024);
        if (size < limit2) {
            return String.format("%s%s kB", negative, size);
        } else {
            size = Math.round((double)size / 1024);
            if (size < limit2) {
                return String.format("%s%s MB", negative, size);
            } else {
                size = Math.round((double)size / 1024);
                if (size < limit2) {
                    return String.format("%s%s GB", negative, size);
                } else {
                    size = Math.round((double)size / 1024);
                        return String.format("%s%s TB", negative, size);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

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));
}

Create an interface:

public interface IUnits {
    public String format(long size, String pattern);
    public long getUnitSize();
}

Create the StorageUnits class:

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class StorageUnits {

    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;

    enum Unit implements IUnits {

        TERA_BYTE {
            @Override
            public String format(long size, String pattern) {
                return format(size, getUnitSize(), "TB", pattern);
            }
            @Override
            public long getUnitSize() {
                return T;
            }
            @Override
            public String toString() {
                return "Terabytes";
            }
        },
        GIGA_BYTE {
            @Override
            public String format(long size, String pattern) {
                return format(size, getUnitSize(), "GB", pattern);
            }
            @Override
            public long getUnitSize() {
                return G;
            }
            @Override
            public String toString() {
                return "Gigabytes";
            }
        },
        MEGA_BYTE {
            @Override
            public String format(long size, String pattern) {
                return format(size, getUnitSize(), "MB", pattern);
            }
            @Override
            public long getUnitSize() {
                return M;
            }
            @Override
            public String toString() {
                return "Megabytes";
            }
        },
        KILO_BYTE {
            @Override
            public String format(long size, String pattern) {
                return format(size, getUnitSize(), "kB", pattern);
            }
            @Override
            public long getUnitSize() {
                return K;
            }
            @Override
            public String toString() {
                return "Kilobytes";
            }

        };

        String format(long size, long base, String unit, String pattern) {
            return new DecimalFormat(pattern).format(
                           Long.valueOf(size).doubleValue() /
                           Long.valueOf(base).doubleValue()
            ) + unit;
        }
    }

    public static String format(long size, String pattern) {
        for(Unit unit : Unit.values()) {
            if(size >= unit.getUnitSize()) {
                return unit.format(size, pattern);
            }
        }
        return ("???(" + size + ")???");
    }

    public static String format(long size) {
        return format(size, "#,##0.#");
    }
}

Call it:

class Main {
    public static void main(String... args) {
        System.out.println(StorageUnits.format(21885));
        System.out.println(StorageUnits.format(2188121545L));
    }
}

Output:

public String calculateProperFileSize(double bytes){
    String sizeToReturn = "";
    int index = 0;
    for(index = 0; index < fileSizeUnits.length; index++){
        if(bytes < 1024){
            break;

    System.out.println("File size in proper format: " + bytes + " " + fileSizeUnits[index]);
    sizeToReturn = String.valueOf(bytes) + " " + fileSizeUnits[index];
    return sizeToReturn;
}

Just add more file units (if any missing), and you will see unit size up to that unit (if your file has that much length):

If you use Android, you can simply use android.text.format.Formatter.formatFileSize().

Alternatively, here's a solution based on this popular post:

  /**
   * Formats the bytes to a human readable format
   *
   * @param si true if each kilo==1000, false if kilo==1024
   */
  @SuppressLint("DefaultLocale")
  public static String humanReadableByteCount(final long bytes, final boolean si)
  {
    final int unit = si ? 1000 : 1024;
    if(bytes<unit)
      return bytes + " B";

    double result = bytes;
    final String unitsToUse = (si ? "k" : "K") + "MGTPE";
    int i = 0;
    final int unitsCount = unitsToUse.length();
    while(true)
    {
      result /= unit;
      if(result < unit)
        break;
      // Check if we can go further:
      if(i == unitsCount-1)
        break;
      ++i;
    }

    final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(9);
    sb.append(String.format("%.1f ", result));
    sb.append(unitsToUse.charAt(i));
    if(si)
      sb.append('B');
    else sb.append('i').append('B');
    final String resultStr = sb.toString();
    return resultStr;
  }

Or in Kotlin:

/**
 * formats the bytes to a human readable format
 *
 * @param si true if each kilo==1000, false if kilo==1024
 */
@SuppressLint("DefaultLocale")
fun humanReadableByteCount(bytes: Long, si: Boolean): String? {
    val unit = if (si) 1000.0 else 1024.0
    if (bytes < unit)
        return "$bytes B"
    var result = bytes.toDouble()
    val unitsToUse = (if (si) "k" else "K") + "MGTPE"
    var i = 0
    val unitsCount = unitsToUse.length
    while (true) {
        result /= unit
        if (result < unit || i == unitsCount - 1)
            break
        ++i
    }
    return with(StringBuilder(9)) {
        append(String.format("%.1f ", result))
        append(unitsToUse[i])
        if (si) append('B') else append("iB")
    }.toString()
}

You can use StringUtils’s TraditionalBinarPrefix:

public static String humanReadableInt(long number) {
    return TraditionalBinaryPrefix.long2String(number, ””, 1);
}

filename=filedilg.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath();
File file=new File(filename);

String disp=FileUtils.byteCountToDisplaySize(file.length());
System.out.println("THE FILE PATH IS "+file+"THIS File SIZE IS IN MB "+disp);

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

Use the following function to get exact information. It is generated by taking the base of the ATM_CashWithdrawl concept.

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

In order to display time in a human-readable format, use the function millisToShortDHMS(long duration).

I'm using slighly modified method than accepted answer :

public static String formatFileSize(long bytes) {
        if (bytes <= 0) return "";
        if (bytes < 1000) return bytes + " B";
        CharacterIterator ci = new StringCharacterIterator("kMGTPE");
        while (bytes >= 99_999) {
            bytes /= 1000;
            ci.next();
        }
        return String.format(Locale.getDefault(), "%.1f %cB", bytes / 1000.0, ci.current());
    }

Because i want to see another output :

                              SI   

                   0:            <--------- instead of 0 B
                  27:       27 B     
                 999:      999 B

         28991029248:    29.0 GB  

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.

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";

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.

org.springframework.util.unit.DataSize could suit this requirement at least for the calculation. Then a simple decorator will do.

    public static String floatForm (double d)
    {
       return new DecimalFormat("#.##").format(d);
    }


    public static String bytesToHuman (long size)
    {
        long Kb = 1  * 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 floatForm(        size     ) + " byte";
        if (size >= Kb && size < Mb)    return floatForm((double)size / Kb) + " Kb";
        if (size >= Mb && size < Gb)    return floatForm((double)size / Mb) + " Mb";
        if (size >= Gb && size < Tb)    return floatForm((double)size / Gb) + " Gb";
        if (size >= Tb && size < Pb)    return floatForm((double)size / Tb) + " Tb";
        if (size >= Pb && size < Eb)    return floatForm((double)size / Pb) + " Pb";
        if (size >= Eb)                 return floatForm((double)size / Eb) + " Eb";

        return "???";
    }

• Kotlin Version via Extension Property

If you are using kotlin, it's pretty easy to format file size by these extension properties. It is loop-free and completely based on pure math.

HumanizeUtils.kt

import java.io.File
import kotlin.math.log2
import kotlin.math.pow

/**
 * @author aminography
 */

val File.formatSize: String
    get() = length().formatAsFileSize

val Int.formatAsFileSize: String
    get() = toLong().formatAsFileSize

val Long.formatAsFileSize: String
    get() = log2(if (this != 0L) toDouble() else 1.0).toInt().div(10).let {
        val precision = when (it) {
            0 -> 0; 1 -> 1; else -> 2
        }
        val prefix = arrayOf("", "K", "M", "G", "T", "P", "E", "Z", "Y")
        String.format("%.${precision}f ${prefix[it]}B", toDouble() / 2.0.pow(it * 10.0))
    }

Usage:

println("0:          " + 0.formatAsFileSize)
println("170:        " + 170.formatAsFileSize)
println("14356:      " + 14356.formatAsFileSize)
println("968542985:  " + 968542985.formatAsFileSize)
println("8729842496: " + 8729842496.formatAsFileSize)

println("file: " + file.formatSize)

Result:

0:          0 B
170:        170 B
14356:      14.0 KB
968542985:  923.67 MB
8729842496: 8.13 GB

file: 6.15 MB

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);
    }
}

Here's the C# .NET equivalent for Java correct consensus answer above (there's another below which has shorter code):

    public static String BytesNumberToHumanReadableString(long bytes, bool SI1000orBinary1024)
    {
        int unit = SI1000orBinary1024 ? 1000 : 1024;
        if (bytes < unit)
            return bytes + " B";

        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.

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.
