Gigabits to Bits Converter
How to convert gigabits to bits
bits = gigabits × 1,000,000,000
To convert gigabits to bits, multiply the number of gigabits by 1,000,000,000.
1 Gbit = 1,000,000,000 bit
Examples
- 1 Gbit × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 bit
- 10 Gbit × 1,000,000,000 = 10,000,000,000 bit
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.
8 bits make 1 byte. Bits (lowercase b) and bytes (uppercase B) are easily confused in abbreviations such as Mb and MB.

Unit definitions
- Gigabit (Gbit)
- A gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits, equal to 125,000,000 bytes. It is used for fast network links such as gigabit Ethernet and fiber broadband.
- Bit
- A bit is the smallest unit of digital information, a single binary value of 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte.
