Bandwidth Converter

Convert network rates between bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps and byte-per-second units, with the bits-to-bytes factor handled for you. Calculates in your browser.

Show the math

Each rate is taken to bits per second, then expressed in the target unit:

1 byte/s = 8 bits/s · 1 Mbps = 1000 Kbps

The key catch is bits versus bytes: link speeds are quoted in bits per second (Mbps, Gbps) but file transfers in bytes per second (MB/s), so divide by eight to go from one to the other. Network units are decimal (×1000). Calculated entirely in your browser.

What this does

A bandwidth converter changes network rates between bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps and byte-per-second units.

How to use it

  1. Enter a rate.
  2. Pick its unit.
  3. Read the equivalent in every other unit.

How it works

There are 8 bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps equals 12.5 MB/s. Network rates are decimal, stepping by 1000 (1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps).

Example

1 Gbps is 1000 Mbps, or 125 MB/s.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?

Mbps is megabits per second and MB/s is megabytes per second. There are eight bits in a byte, so 100 Mbps equals 12.5 MB/s.

Are network units decimal or binary?

Network rates are decimal, so 1 Mbps is 1,000 Kbps and 1 Gbps is 1,000 Mbps. The converter uses these standard ×1000 steps.
