About the data transfer converter

The data transfer converter translates between the units used to measure network and data speeds, from bits per second up to gigabytes and terabits per second. Type any amount, choose the unit you are converting from and the unit you want, and the result updates live as you type. Use the swap button to reverse the direction in a single click.

Transfer rates use the decimal convention (1 Mbit/s = 1000 Kbit/s), the standard used by internet providers and networking equipment. One byte equals 8 bits, so converting between bit-based and byte-based units applies that factor automatically — for example, 100 Mbit/s equals 12.5 MB/s.

Supported units

  • bit/s, Kbit/s, Mbit/s, Gbit/s, Tbit/s
  • Byte/s, KB/s, MB/s, GB/s

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Mbit/s to MB/s?
Divide the megabits-per-second value by 8, since one byte equals 8 bits. For example, 100 Mbit/s equals 12.5 MB/s. The converter does this automatically.
Why use 1000 instead of 1024?
Network and data transfer rates use the decimal convention (1 Mbit/s = 1000 Kbit/s), which is the standard used by internet providers and networking equipment.
Can I convert between bit-based and byte-based units?
Yes. The converter applies the 8-bit-per-byte factor automatically whenever you switch between bit/s and Byte/s families.
Does it work offline?
The converter runs entirely in your browser, so once the page is loaded it works without an internet connection.
Is the data transfer converter free?
Yes, it is completely free and requires no account or sign-up.
