How to convert gigabits per second to megabits per second
To convert gigabits per second (Gbps) to megabits per second (Mbps), multiply the value in gigabits per second by 1,000.
Mbps = Gbps × 1,000
Example: 5 Gbps = 5,000 Mbps.
You can also type 5 Gbps to Mbps into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 Gbps + 1 Mbps.

About the units
Gigabit per second (Gbps)
A unit of bandwidth.
Megabit per second (Mbps)
One million bits per second, the usual unit for broadband and Wi-Fi speeds.
Network speeds are sold in bits per second, which are always decimal (1 Mbps = 1,000 kbps). Download dialogs show bytes per second, which some apps count in decimal (1 MB/s = 1,000 KB/s) and others in binary (1 MB/s = 1,024 KB/s). Because a byte is 8 bits, a 100 Mbps connection tops out around 12.5 MB/s (11.9 binary MB/s) before protocol overhead.
Questions and answers
How many megabits per second are in a gigabit per second?
One gigabit per second (Gbps) equals 1,000 megabits per second (Mbps).
How do I convert gigabits per second to megabits per second?
To convert gigabits per second to megabits per second, multiply the value in gigabits per second by 1,000. The formula is Mbps = Gbps × 1,000. For example, 5 Gbps = 5,000 Mbps.
What is 5 Gbps in Mbps?
5 gigabits per second is 5,000 megabits per second.
Which is bigger, a gigabit per second or a megabit per second?
A gigabit per second is bigger: 1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps.
Why is my download speed lower than my internet plan?
Plans are sold in megabits per second (Mbps) and downloads show megabytes per second (MB/s). A byte is 8 bits, so 100 Mbps is at most 12.5 MB/s, or 11.92 MB/s if your download manager counts in binary, and protocol overhead takes a little more.
Is 1 MB/s 1,000 KB/s or 1,024 KB/s?
It depends on the app. Decimal counting gives 1 MB/s = 1,000 KB/s; binary counting (common in Windows tools and some download managers) gives 1,024 KB/s. Use the Decimal / Binary switch to match your app. Bit rates like Mbps are always decimal.
Does this Gbps to Mbps 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.
