Convert between bytes, bits, kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes and more instantly

What is Bytes/Bits Converter?

Bytes/Bits Converter is a free online tool that converts between different units of digital storage. It supports binary units (bytes, kilobytes, megabytes) and decimal units (bits, kilobits, megabits), covering the full range from bits to petabytes. Perfect for understanding file sizes, data transfer rates, and storage capacity calculations.

How to Use Bytes/Bits Converter

  1. Enter the digital storage value in the input field
  2. Select the source unit from the dropdown menu
  3. Select the target unit from the output dropdown
  4. Click "Convert" to perform the conversion
  5. Use the "Swap Units" button to quickly reverse the conversion
  6. Copy the result using the copy button
  7. Use "Clear" to reset all values

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between binary and decimal units?

Binary units use powers of 1024 (2^10) and are used for storage capacity, while decimal units use powers of 1000 and are often used for data transfer rates and network speeds.

Why are there different units for storage and transfer?

Storage manufacturers use binary units (1024-based) for marketing, while network providers use decimal units (1000-based) for speed measurements. This creates the "storage vs. speed" confusion.

How accurate are the conversions?

All conversions use standard conversion factors and are accurate to 6 decimal places. For most practical purposes, this provides excellent precision.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all calculations happen locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

Can I use this offline?

Yes, once loaded, the converter works completely offline in your browser.
