Convert internet connection and download speeds between Mbps, MB/s, Kbps, and Gbps. Calculate file download transfer times and network bandwidth accurately.
Real drive space vs advertised capacity
Remember that 1 Byte equals 8 bits. Storage drives count in thousands (1 GB = 1,000 MB), while operating systems count in 1024s (1 GiB = 1,024 MiB).

Every conversion starts with the standard baseline rate between these two units:
Multiply your entered number by the conversion rate to calculate the exact target value:
The result is neatly rounded to your preferred decimal setting so it is clear and ready to use:
| Unit Name | Symbol | System | Conversion Rate | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bits per second | bps | si | 1 bps = 1.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Kilobits per second | Kbps | si | 1 Kbps = 1,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Megabits per second | Mbps | si | 1 Mbps = 1,000,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Gigabits per second | Gbps | si | 1 Gbps = 1,000,000,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Terabits per second | Tbps | si | 1 Tbps = 1,000,000,000,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Bytes per second | B/s | si | 1 B/s = 8.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Kilobytes per second | KB/s | si | 1 KB/s = 8,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Megabytes per second | MB/s | si | 1 MB/s = 8,000,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
| Gigabytes per second | GB/s | si | 1 GB/s = 8,000,000,000.000000 bps | Everyday, home, and school measurements in Data Transfer Rate. |
Modems were historically rated in baud and bits per second (e.g., 300 bps in 1970, 56 kbps in 1997).
Lowercase "b" indicates bits (Mbps); uppercase "B" indicates bytes (MB/s).
Internet speeds are sold in bits, but downloads are reported in bytes. Because 1 byte = 8 bits, 100 Mbps / 8 = 12.5 MB/s.
Every calculation uses trusted, standard definitions so your results are 100% accurate for school, home, work, and recipes.
