Bits to Bytes Converter

Convert between bits and bytes

What is This Tool?

Data size converters translate between bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, and petabytes. Understanding these conversions is essential for managing storage, understanding file sizes, and evaluating internet speeds.

Formula
Using binary (IEC) standard: 1 KB = 1,024 bytes, 1 MB = 1,024 KB 1 GB = 1,024 MB, 1 TB = 1,024 GB 1 byte = 8 bits
Worked Examples

1. Gigabytes to Megabytes

Given: 4.7 GB (DVD)

1 GB = 1,024 MB

4.7 x 1,024 = 4,812.8 MB

Result: 4,812.8 MB

2. Megabits to Megabytes

Given: 100 Mbps internet

1 byte = 8 bits

100 Mbps = 100/8 = 12.5 MB/s

Result: 12.5 MB/s download speed
