Kilobits to Bytes converter

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

1 kbit = 125 B
1 B = 0.008 kbit

Formula: B = kbit × 125
kbit = B × 0.008

Definitions: 1 kbit = 1000 bit

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 byte (B) is 8 bits and is the basic unit for storing text and other data; one ASCII character takes one byte. Note the capital letter: B is bytes, while a lowercase b stands for bits.
