To convert kilobits 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.
Kb 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. Related: Yottabytes to Gigabytes.
1 Kb = 125 B (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 125bytes in every kilobit.
Kb to B conversion rate: 1 kilobit equals 125bytes — the standard kilobit to byte data storage conversion used by this calculator.

Kb to B Conversion Formula
Here's the exact Kb to B formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 125 to go from kilobits to bytes, or by 0.008 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same conversion.
// Convert Kb to B
B = Kb × 125
// Reverse: Convert B to Kb
Kb = B × 0.008

FAQs: Kilobit to Byte Conversion
5 questions Quick answers on converting kilobits to bytes, using the same factors as the converter above.
-
How many bytes are in 1 kilobit?
1 Kb = 125 B
1 Kilobit (Kb) equals 125 Bytes using the SI decimal standard.
-
How many kilobits are in 1 byte?
1 B = 0.008 Kb
1 Byte (B) equals 0.008 Kilobits.
-
How do I convert kilobits to bytes?
Kb × 125 = B
Multiply the kilobit value by 125 to get bytes. For example, 10 Kb = 1,250 B. To convert back (vice versa), multiply bytes by 0.008.
