The Bit Converter supports 34 different data units, allowing any conversion between bits [bit] and other data units with decimal and binary prefixes. All entered values are converted in real time and displayed with up to 20 decimal places, ensuring sufficient accuracy.


Conversion of bits

A suitable calculation method is required to convert bits [bit] into another data unit. This method can be determined using a conversion table. However, the table is relatively large, confusing, and difficult for inexperienced users to understand. The following tool provides a solution to this problem by allowing the calculation methods for converting bits [bit] to be queried directly from the conversion table.

Determine conversion formula

Calculation example:
Bits ÷ 8 = Bytes
Bytes * 8 = Bits

Conversion between bits and bytes

Conversions between bits [bit] and bytes [B] are easy and can be done using simple math, because both units share the same prefix type. Use the formulas below to perform error-free conversions between bits [bit] and bytes [B].

  • Bits [bit] = bytes [B] * 8
  • Bytes [B] = bits [bit] ÷ 8

Conversion between bits and kilobytes

Bits [bit] and kilobytes [kB] share the same prefix type, so converting between them is simple and straightforward. The formulas below offer a reliable method to perform an accurate conversion between bits [bit] and kilobytes [kB].

  • Bits [bit] = kilobytes [kB] * 103 * 8
  • Kilobytes [kB] = bits [bit] ÷ 103 ÷ 8

Conversion between bits and megabytes

A precise conversion between bits [bit] and megabytes [MB] is quick to perform and requires only basic math operations. The formulas below provide an easy and straightforward way to convert between bits [bit] and megabytes [MB] accurately.

  • Bits [bit] = megabytes [MB] * 106 * 8
  • Megabytes [MB] = bits [bit] ÷ 106 ÷ 8

Conversion between bits and gigabytes

Since bits [bit] and gigabytes [GB] share the same prefix, performing conversions between them is straightforward. Apply the formulas below to perform reliable conversions from bits [bit] to gigabytes [GB] and back.

  • Bits [bit] = gigabytes [GB] * 109 * 8
  • Gigabytes [GB] = bits [bit] ÷ 109 ÷ 8

Conversion between bits and terabytes

Conversions between bits [bit] and terabytes [TB] are easy and can be done using simple math, because both units share the same prefix type. Use the formulas below to perform error-free conversions between bits [bit] and terabytes [TB].

  • Bits [bit] = terabytes [TB] * 1012 * 8
  • Terabytes [TB] = bits [bit] ÷ 1012 ÷ 8
