A kilobit is 1,000 bits. Often used for slower network connections and legacy data rates.
View the kilobit data unit pageHow to Convert Gigabytes to Kilobits
To convert gigabytes to kilobits, multiply by 8 then adjust for scale. This converts byte-based storage measurements to bit-based units.
GB is a byte-based unit used for measuring file sizes and storage capacity.
Kb is a bit-based unit—multiply bytes by 8 to get bits. Related: Bits to Nibbles.
1 GB = 8,000,000 Kb (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 8,000,000kilobits in every gigabyte.
GB to Kb conversion rate: 1 gigabyte equals 8,000,000kilobits — the standard gigabyte to kilobit data storage conversion used by this calculator.

GB to Kb Conversion Formula
Here's the exact GB to Kb formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 8,000,000 to go from gigabytes to kilobits, or by 0.000000125 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same conversion.
// Convert GB to Kb
Kb = GB × 8,000,000
// Reverse: Convert Kb to GB
GB = Kb × 0.000000125

SI Decimal Prefixes: How GB to Kb Is Calculated
Both gigabytes and kilobits are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 GB = 8,000,000 Kb. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gigabyte (GB) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8,000,000,000 bits |
| Kilobit (Kb) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1,000 bits |

FAQs: Gigabyte to Kilobit Conversion
6 questions Quick answers on converting gigabytes to kilobits, using the same factors as the converter above.
-
How many kilobits are in 1 gigabyte?
1 GB = 8,000,000 Kb
1 Gigabyte (GB) equals 8,000,000 Kilobits using the SI decimal standard.
-
How many gigabytes are in 1 kilobit?
1 Kb = 0.000000125 GB
1 Kilobit (Kb) equals 0.000000125 Gigabytes.
-
How do I convert gigabytes to kilobits?
GB × 8,000,000 = Kb
Multiply the gigabyte value by 8,000,000 to get kilobits. For example, 10 GB = 80,000,000 Kb. To convert back (vice versa), multiply kilobits by 0.000000125.
-
Is a gigabyte bigger than a kilobit?
GB is 8,000,000× larger than Kb
Yes. 1 GB = 8,000,000 Kb, so the gigabyte is the larger data storage unit.
-
Does GB to Kb use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both gigabytes and kilobits are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 GB = 8,000,000 Kb. 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 Gigabyte (GB) commonly used for?
Common uses of the gigabyte (GB) include: Movies, video games, smartphone storage, USB drives, cloud storage plans.
