Bits to Bytes Converter
Converts bit counts, key lengths and network figures into bytes.
1 bit = 0.125 B
bytes
1 bit = 0.125 B
How to convert bits to bytes
Multiply the number of bits by 0.125.
Formula
B = bit × 0.125
Examples
- 32 bit × 0.125 = 4 B
- 256 bit × 0.125 = 32 B
- 4,096 bit × 0.125 = 512 B

About bits
A bit is the smallest unit of digital information: a single 0 or 1. Internet and network speeds are measured in bits per second, such as 100 Mbps.
About bytes
A byte is 8 bits. File sizes, memory and storage capacity are all measured in bytes and their multiples.
Frequently asked questions
How many bytes are in one bit?
One bit equals 0.125 bytes.
How do I convert bits to bytes?
Multiply the number of bits by 0.125. For example: 256 bit × 0.125 = 32 B.
How many bits are in one byte?
One byte equals 8 bits.
Is the bit to B conversion exact?
Yes. The factor follows directly from the official definitions of both units, so the only rounding is in how many decimals are displayed.
