Data Transfer Rate Converter

Data Transfer Rate Converter

Local Processing

Convert between network speed and data rate units including bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps, B/s, KB/s, MB/s, and GB/s.

How It Works & Processing Standards

Convert between the units listed below using bps as the base unit.

Kbps1 Kbps = 1000 bps
Mbps1 Mbps = 1000000 bps
Gbps1 Gbps = 1000000000 bps
Bps1 Bps = 8 bps
KBps1 KBps = 8000 bps
MBps1 MBps = 8000000 bps
GBps1 GBps = 8000000000 bps

Tool processing runs in your browser. If you create a calculator or conversion share link, its values are included in the URL. See the privacy policy for account, analytics and advertising data.

Providers quote speeds in bits (Mbps); download windows show bytes (MB/s). This converts exactly using 1 byte = 8 bits.

How to Use Data Transfer Rate Converter

  1. 1
    Enter a valueDecimals and negative numbers (for temperature, say) are accepted.
  2. 2

Examples

Download speed on 500 Mbps
Input: 500 Mbps → MB/s
Result: 62.5
Gigabit internet
Input: 1 Gbps → MB/s
Result: 125

Common Use Cases

  • Estimating large download times from your plan speed
  • Comparing router and cable speed ratings
  • Understanding streaming bitrates

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I have 500 Mbps but downloads are below 62 MB/s.

Quoted speeds are maximums; Wi-Fi, server speed and protocol overhead lower real throughput.

Is it decimal?

Yes: 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bps and 1 MB/s = 1,000,000 B/s.
