Data Transfer Converter
Convert between bits per second, Mbps, Gbps, and megabytes per second.
Popular data transfer conversions
Mbps to Gbps1,000 Mbps = 1 Gbps. Divide Mbps by 1,000 to convert to Gbps. Example: 500 Mbps = 0.5 Gbps.Gbps to Mbps1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps. Multiply Gbps by 1,000 to convert. Example: 2.5 Gbps × 1,000 = 2,500 Mbps.Kbps to Mbps1,000 kbps = 1 Mbps. Divide kbps by 1,000 to convert to Mbps. Example: 512 kbps = 0.512 Mbps.Mbps to MB/s8 Mbps = 1 MB/s. Divide Mbps by 8 to get MB/s. Example: 100 Mbps ÷ 8 = 12.5 MB/s download speed.

What is data transfer?
Data rate (bandwidth) measures how much digital data is transferred per unit of time.
Common use cases
- Internet plan comparison
- Network throughput
- Video streaming requirements
- File transfer time estimates
- LAN and Wi-Fi performance
Ambiguity notes
ISPs advertise speeds in Mbps (megabits/s). Download managers show MB/s (megabytes/s). 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.
