Convert bits, bytes and their multiples per second

Convert bits, bytes and their multiples per second. Handy for students, analysts and engineers checking a calculation or conversion before using the result.

Convert bits, bytes and their multiples per second. The answer appears right away in your browser and is ready to use, with no account, upload or stored data.

How to use

Type the value followed by its unit, such as 100 Mbps or 2 Gbps.
Make sure the unit describes a data rate rather than a file size.
Run the conversion to see equivalents in bits, bytes and their multiples per second.
Copy the value you need and check it against the convention used in your source document.

Example

To check an internet plan advertised in Mbps, enter the advertised number and review the equivalents shown. This can make comparisons easier when another document uses bytes per second or a different multiple.

Input

100 Mbps

Limits and formats

This converter changes units; it does not measure real connection speed.
Prefixes and abbreviations can be used differently, so confirm the unit before relying on the result.
Network overhead, protocol effects and transmission losses are not part of the conversion.
A misspelled unit may prevent the conversion or produce a misleading answer.

Where processing happens

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. The value and unit you type stay on your device and are not uploaded or stored, even if you test several units in a row.

Frequently asked questions

How should I write the unit after the number?

Place the number and unit together on one line, for example 100 Mbps or 2 Gbps. If the output looks wrong, check that the unit is recognised and clearly represents a data rate rather than a storage size.

Can I switch between bytes per second and bits per second?

Yes, the converter covers bits, bytes and their multiples per second. The result usually lists several equivalents, so you can move from one notation to another without recalculating by hand.

Can I use the answer for network capacity planning?

Treat it as a unit conversion, not a full capacity study. Planning also depends on users, protocols, overhead and peak traffic, so use the converted figure as one input among several technical considerations.
