Convert bits to bytes, bytes to bits, kilobits to kilobytes, megabits to megabytes, gigabits to gigabytes, and other digital storage units for file sizes, internet speed comparisons, bandwidth, uploads, downloads, and data transfer planning.
Bits to bytes:
bytes = bits ÷ 8
Bytes to bits:
bits = bytes × 8
Megabits to megabytes:
MB = Mb ÷ 8
Gigabits to gigabytes:
GB = Gb ÷ 8
Bits to bytes conversions are useful for internet speed, download speed, upload speed, bandwidth, file transfers, streaming, hosting plans, network limits, cloud backups, app downloads, and data storage comparisons.
Use this converter when comparing internet speeds such as Mbps or Gbps with file sizes such as MB, GB, or TB.
Your result shows the entered digital value converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The converter also shows common reference values in bits, bytes, kilobits, kilobytes, megabits, megabytes, gigabits, and gigabytes.
Bits are commonly used for data transfer rates and internet speeds. Bytes are commonly used for file sizes and storage capacity. Because 1 byte equals 8 bits, a speed listed in Mbps is not the same as MB/s.
There are 8 bits in 1 byte.
Divide bits by 8. For example, 8 bits equals 1 byte, and 80 bits equals 10 bytes.
Multiply bytes by 8. For example, 10 bytes equals 80 bits.
No. Mbps means megabits per second, while MB/s means megabytes per second. 100 Mbps is about 12.5 MB/s before overhead.
Network speeds are traditionally measured in bits per second, while file sizes are usually measured in bytes. This is why download speed and file size need conversion.
