Bytes to Kilobits Converter
How to convert bytes to kilobits
kilobits = bytes ÷ 125
To convert bytes to kilobits, divide the number of bytes by 125.
1 B = 0.008 kbit
Examples
- 1,024 B ÷ 125 = 8.192 kbit
- 1,000,000 B ÷ 125 = 8,000 kbit
Good to know
A unit of bits, not bytes: 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit units are used for transfer speeds, byte units for file and storage sizes.

Unit definitions
- Byte (B)
- A byte is a group of 8 bits and the basic addressable unit of computer memory and storage. One byte can hold one of 256 values.
- Kilobit (kbit)
- A kilobit is 1000 bits, equal to 125 bytes. It is used for audio bit rates and slow data links, in kilobits per second (kbps).
