In computing, 3 kb means 3 kilobits, or approximately 3,000 bits.

More precisely, 1 kb is 1024 bits and not 1000 bits because of the way in which computer use binary to store data.

So, 3 kb is 3096 bits of data. It's an amount of data. You can divide the number of bits by 8 to determine the number of bytes of storage.

Many people write kb when they really mean to write kB. kB means kilobytes.

Also some people make the mistake of writing kb when they really mean kbps, or kilobits per second, which is a rate of transferring data.

Is a file that is 912 KB too large to email?

912 kb this depends on who you are trying to mail to - it is better if you can get it down to 6kb or 3kb and when the person gets it they can expand it - it will go faster - the person on the other end should have some type of picture management program but for my thoughts 912kb would back your system up and basically make it stop responding - we haven't caught up with the space shuttle yet
