Bits to Bytes Converter
Convert bits to bytes instantly. 1 bit = 0.125 B. Free two-way converter with the formula and a quick reference table.
How to convert bits to bytes
bytes = bits × 0.125
One bit equals 0.125 bytes, so to convert bits to bytes you multiply by 0.125. Going the other way, one byte is 8 bits. Both units measure digital storage, so the conversion is an exact ratio that never changes.
10 bits = 1.25 bytes. Multiply your bit figure by the factor above (or just type it into the box) to convert any amount.

Frequently asked questions
How many bytes are in a bit?
One bit equals 0.125 bytes. So to convert, multiply the number of bits by 0.125.
How do I convert bits to bytes?
Multiply by 0.125, or simply enter the value in the converter above — it does the math instantly and works both ways.
Is this conversion exact?
These use the decimal (1000-based) definitions used by storage makers and networks; operating systems sometimes show binary (1024-based) values, which differ slightly.
