Kilobytes — kB
Megabytes — MB
Gigabytes — GB
Kibibytes — KiB
Mebibytes — MiB
Gibibytes — GiB
The formula
bytes = bits ÷ 8 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
The same division works for a speed: megabits per second ÷ 8 = megabytes per second.
What to watch out for
Bytes come out in both decimal (MB) and binary (MiB) units. To convert between any storage units, use the data storage converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bytes does 100 Mbit/s move each second?
12.5 MB, or 11.92 MiB.
How do I tell bits from bytes in a unit?
A lower-case b means bits and an upper-case B means bytes, so Mb is megabits and MB is megabytes.
