To convert bytes per second to petabits per second, multiply by 8.000000e-15. This conversion translates actual file transfer speeds (bytes) to network bandwidth (bits) by accounting for the 8:1 bit-to-byte ratio.
B/s represents your actual download or transfer speed—what you see in your browser or file manager when copying files.
Pbps is the equivalent network bandwidth. Use this when comparing against ISP plans, sizing network links, or calculating replication bandwidth requirements. Related: Bytes Per Second to Megabits Per Second.

Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.
What Is Byte Per Second (B/s)? Definition and Uses
One byte (8 bits) transferred per second. The fundamental byte-based transfer rate.
The byte per second is a byte-based throughput unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: File transfer displays, storage benchmarks, precise measurements See also: Bytes Per Second to Terabits Per Second.
1 B/s = 8 bits per second .
The byte per second can be abbreviated as B/s; for example, 1 byte per second can be written as 1 B/s.

What Is Petabit Per Second (Pbps)? Definition and Uses
A petabit per second is 1,000 terabits per second. Used for internet exchange points and submarine cable capacity.
The petabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: Internet exchange points, submarine cables, global backbone networks, hyperscale interconnects
1 Pbps = 1 × 10¹⁵ bits per second .
The petabit per second can be abbreviated as Pbps; for example, 1 petabit per second can be written as 1 Pbps.
Don't confuse Pbps with PB/s (Petabyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Pbps measures bits, PB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Pbps works out to just 0.125 PB/s using the same numeral.

SI Decimal Prefixes: How B/s to Pbps Is Calculated
Both bytes per second and petabits per second are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 B/s = 8.000000e-15 Pbps. This is the convention behind advertised link speeds and drive specifications. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Byte Per Second (B/s) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8 bps |
| Petabit Per Second (Pbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1.000 × 10¹⁵ bps |

1 Byte Per Second (B/s) equals 8.000000e-15 Petabits Per Second.
-
How many bytes per second are in 1 petabit per second?
1 Pbps = 125,000,000,000,000 B/s
1 Petabit Per Second (Pbps) equals 125,000,000,000,000 Bytes Per Second.
-
How do I convert bytes per second to petabits per second?
Multiply the byte per second value by 8.000000e-15 to get petabits per second. For example, 10 B/s = 8.000000e-14 Pbps. To convert back (vice versa), multiply petabits per second by 125,000,000,000,000.
-
What is the difference between bytes per second and petabits per second?
B/s measures actual transfer throughput in bytes per second, while Pbps measures network bandwidth in bits per second. Divide bits by 8 to get bytes.
-
Does B/s to Pbps use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both bytes per second and petabits per second are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 B/s = 8.000000e-15 Pbps. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8. The binary (IEC) versions count in base 2 steps of 1,024 instead.
-
What is Byte Per Second (B/s) commonly used for?
Common uses of the byte per second (B/s) include: File transfer displays, storage benchmarks, precise measurements.
