What is the key length of AES-128 in bytes?

AES-128 uses a 128-bit key, which is 16 bytes.

Quick conversion: 128 bits ÷ 8 bits/byte = 16 bytes.

All AES variants:

Variant Key bits Key bytes Block bits Block bytes
AES-128 128 16 128 16
AES-192 192 24 128 16
AES-256 256 32 128 16

Note: The block size is always 128 bits (16 bytes) regardless of the key length. Only the number of rounds changes (10, 12, or 14).
