Common issues people run into

The user expects decimal 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes instead of binary-based conversion.

Fix: Check which storage convention your workflow expects before relying on the result.

A unit label is pasted together with the numeric value.

Fix: Enter only the numeric MB amount if the tool expects raw numbers.

The user expects bit conversion instead of byte conversion.

Fix: Use a bandwidth or bit-based converter if you need bits rather than bytes.
