Does anyone know of a simple to use utility which converts between
GB, MB, KB and bytes?

Sometimes I need to compare file sizes and often the values I get are
in MB when I need KB or vice versa.

The conversion is essentially simple but it is often fiddly to use a
calculator, so I am seeking a utlity.

Am I missing something here? You are looking for a utility to move a decimal
point? Regarding file sizes you can list file details in ascending or
decending size in all file managers. You have these facilities in all o/s's
and brain already.

Moving the decimal point will give you a false answer. 1GB is 1024 MB,
not 1000.

Sure, it's easy to do in your head, just move the decimal point left
or right as needed.

1 GB = 100 MB = 100,000 KB = 100,000,000 (10 to the 9th power) Bytes

Boy, some of you guys are math menaces.

1 GB=1024 MB=1048576 KB=1073741824 Bytes

Tell that to hard drive manufactures. They don't seem to be able to count
too well either.

The term "The Angels' share" is used to describe the spirit lost by
evaporation from brandy maturing in barrels.
Perhaps they could claim a similar process occurs with hard drives.
