Bits to Bytes Converter
Convert bits (bits) to bytes (bytes) instantly. Type a value — the result updates as you type, and the swap button converts the other way.
Bits to Bytes formula
bytes = bits ÷ 8
1 bit = 0.125 bytes · 1 byte = 8 bits
To convert bits to bytes, divide the value by 8. For example, 64 bits:
bytes = 64 ÷ 8bytes = 8
So 64 bits = 8 bytes.
Mental math shortcut
This conversion is exact, so there is no need to estimate: just divide by 8.
