Convert Bits to Bytes
1 bit = 0.125 bytes. Type any value below to convert in either direction — the calculation happens in your browser.
Bits to Bytes formula
Multiply the number of bits by 0.125 to get bytes.
bytes = bits × 0.125To go the other way: divide the number of bytes by 0.125, or multiply by 8.
bits = bytes ÷ 0.125Bits to Bytes conversion table

About the bit
A bit is a single binary digit, the smallest unit of information; network speeds are quoted in bits per second.
About the byte
A byte is eight bits, historically the space needed to store a single character of text.
