Converting the other way: kilobytes to bytes

bytes = kilobytes × 1,000. So 0.012 kilobytes is back to 12 bytes; one kilobyte is 1,000 bytes. See the kilobytes to bytes table.

Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 0.001: 12 × 0.001 ≈ 0.012 kb, against the exact 0.012 kb (0.0% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A byte is smaller than a kilobyte, so the number of kilobytes must come out smaller than the number of bytes. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
