Gigabits to Petabytes Converter
How to convert gigabits to petabytes
petabytes = gigabits ÷ 8,000,000
To convert gigabits to petabytes, divide the number of gigabits by 8,000,000.
1 Gbit = 1.25 × 10⁻⁷ PB
Examples
- 1 Gbit ÷ 8,000,000 = 1.25 × 10⁻⁷ PB
- 10 Gbit ÷ 8,000,000 = 0.00000125 PB
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.
Decimal (SI) unit based on powers of 1000, as used by drive manufacturers. Windows reports sizes in binary units (powers of 1024) but labels them "KB", "MB", "GB" and "TB", so the same file or drive shows a smaller number there.

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.
- Petabyte (PB)
- A petabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (1000 terabytes). It is used for the storage of data centers and large archives.
