1 bit = 0.125 bytes
Convert bits to bytes.
Both directions on one page — swap the units and the whole thing runs backwards.

The formula
B = b × 0.125
Worked through with a real value: 10 bits = 1.25 bytes.
Going the other way: b = B × 8, so 1 byte = 8 bits.
What each unit is
- bit b
- A binary digit, the smallest unit of data. Eight bits make one byte, and bits per second measure data transfer speed.
- byte B
- Eight bits, the standard unit of computer memory and storage. A text character is roughly one byte.
Where these come from
- 1 bit = 0.125 bytes
Every other number on this page is computed from those, and each category is pinned to conversions worked out by hand from the units' primary definitions before it ships.
