A byte consists of 8 bits and is the standard unit for measuring digital storage. One byte can represent 256 different values (0-255).
View the byte data unit pageHow to Convert Bits to Bytes
To convert bits to bytes, divide by 8 then adjust for scale. Since 1 byte = 8 bits, this conversion translates bit-based measurements to the byte-based units used for storage capacity.
b measures data in bits—commonly used for memory addressing and low-level data specifications.
B measures data in bytes—the standard unit for file sizes, storage capacity, and what you see in file explorers.
1 b = 0.125 B (using SI decimal standard) — or equivalently, 1 B = 8b.
b to B conversion rate: 1 bit equals 0.125bytes — the standard bit to byte data storage conversion used by this calculator.

b to B Conversion Formula
Here's the exact b to B formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 0.125 to go from bits to bytes, or by 8 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same conversion.
// Convert b to B
B = b × 0.125
// Reverse: Convert B to b
b = B × 8
Bit to Byte Conversion Examples
100 b = 12.5 B
256 b = 32 B
500 b = 62.5 B
1,000 b = 125 B

FAQs: Bit to Byte Conversion
5 questions Quick answers on converting bits to bytes, using the same factors as the converter above.
-
How many bytes are in 1 bit?
1 b = 0.125 B
1 Bit (b) equals 0.125 Bytes using the SI decimal standard.
-
How many bits are in 1 byte?
1 B = 8 b
1 Byte (B) equals 8 Bits.
-
How do I convert bits to bytes?
b × 0.125 = B
Multiply the bit value by 0.125 to get bytes. For example, 10 b = 1.25 B. To convert back (vice versa), multiply bytes by 8.
-
Is a bit bigger than a byte?
B is 8× larger than b
No. 1 b = 0.125 B, so the byte is larger — 1 B = 8 b.
-
What is Bit (b) commonly used for?
Common uses of the bit (b) include: Network speeds, data encoding, processor architecture (32-bit, 64-bit).
Need another value? Use the b to B converter or convert B to b.
