How to convert bits to bytes
To convert bits (bit) to bytes (B), multiply the value in bits by 0.125.
B = bit × 0.125
Example: 10 bit = 1.25 B.
You can also type 10 bit to B into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 bit + 1 B.

Converting bytes back to bits
1 B = 8 bit. See the Bytes to Bits converter, or press the swap button above.
About the units
Bit (bit)
A single binary digit, 0 or 1.
Byte (B)
Eight bits.
Digital storage is counted in bits and bytes (1 byte = 8 bits). There are two ways to count bytes. Decimal (SI) prefixes step by 1,000: 1 KB = 1,000 B and 1 GB = 1,000 MB, which is how drive makers, macOS, iOS and Android report sizes. Binary prefixes step by 1,024: 1 KB = 1,024 B and 1 GB = 1,024 MB, which is how Windows and RAM count (the IEC names for these are KiB, MiB and GiB). Bits are always decimal: 1 Kb = 1,000 b.
Questions and answers
How many bytes are in a bit?
One bit (bit) equals 0.125 bytes (B).
How do I convert bits to bytes?
To convert bits to bytes, multiply the value in bits by 0.125. The formula is B = bit × 0.125. For example, 10 bit = 1.25 B.
What is 10 bit in B?
10 bits is 1.25 bytes.
Which is bigger, a bit or a byte?
A byte is bigger: 1 B = 8 bit.
Is 1 GB equal to 1,000 MB or 1,024 MB?
Both are in use. In decimal (SI) counting, which drive makers, macOS, iOS and Android use, 1 GB = 1,000 MB. In binary counting, which Windows and RAM use, 1 GB = 1,024 MB; the unambiguous IEC name for that size is the gibibyte (GiB). ConvertEasy has a Decimal / Binary switch so KB, MB, GB and TB follow whichever you need, while KiB, MiB and GiB are always binary.
Are kilobits 1,000 or 1,024 bits?
ConvertEasy treats bits as decimal in both modes: 1 Kb = 1,000 b, 1 Mb = 1,000 Kb. A byte is always 8 bits, so only byte units (KB, MB, GB…) change with the switch.
Does this bit to B converter work offline?
Yes. ConvertEasy is a progressive web app: after your first visit it keeps working with no connection, and you can install it to your home screen from the browser menu.
