Description
Thank you for your great project!
Google always guides me to https://stackoverflow.com/a/15485265, which suggests humanize.naturalsize(). I'm ok to type in ipython, and copy & paste import humanize and humanize.naturalsize().
But it'd be more than great if this small task could be simplified in something like these ways.
$ naturalsize 8589934592
8.6 GB
$ naturalsize --binary 8589934592
8.0 GiB
$ echo 8589934592 | python -m humanize naturalsize --format "%.3f"
8.590 GB
There are tools such as numfmt, but pip install is easier for me as a Windows user. :)
I'd open a PR if I found some time for this. But I can't promise my contribution. So, I'm filing just an idea here.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing naturalsize API and how the package currently exposes modules or entry points. Compare the requested naturalsize command and python -m humanize examples, including binary, format, and piped-input behavior; done means a documented command-line path supports the agreed scope.
