Kilobits to Bits converter

To convert kilobits to bits, enter the value in the first field. The result in bits is calculated automatically using the exact conversion factor.

1 kbit = 1000 bit
1 bit = 0.001 kbit

Formula: bit = kbit × 1000
kbit = bit × 0.001

Definitions: 1 kbit = 1000 bit; 1 bit = 1/8 B

The kilobit (kbit) is 1,000 bits. It is used mainly for data transfer rates, such as the kilobits per second of audio and video streams and older connections.

The bit is the smallest unit of digital information, a single 0 or 1. Network speeds are usually quoted in bits per second, and 8 bits make one byte.
