Bits to Bytes
Convert bits to bytes for data size, networking, file size, storage, memory, and eight bits per byte calculations.
How to convert bit to byte
To convert a value from bits (bit) to bytes (byte), enter the number in the converter above. Use the swap control if you need the reverse direction.
x is the source value in bit; y is the result in byte.

About bits
Bit (bit) — A bit is the basic binary digit, either 0 or 1.
Common uses: Bits are used in networking, data transfer rates, binary data, storage math, and low-level computing examples.
About bytes
Byte (byte) — One byte is 8 bits.
Common uses: Bytes are used for file size, memory, storage, logs, databases, and software data measurements.
