Kilobits to Bits Converter
How to convert kilobits to bits
bits = kilobits × 1,000
To convert kilobits to bits, multiply the number of kilobits by 1,000.
1 kbit = 1,000 bit
Examples
- 320 kbit × 1,000 = 320,000 bit
- 128 kbit × 1,000 = 128,000 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
- 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).
- Bit
- A bit is the smallest unit of digital information, a single binary value of 0 or 1. Eight bits make one byte.
