To convert petabits to exabytes, 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.
Pb measures data in bits—commonly used for memory addressing and low-level data specifications.
EB measures data in bytes—the standard unit for file sizes, storage capacity, and what you see in file explorers. Related: Petabits to Bits.

SI Decimal Prefixes: How Pb to EB Is Calculated
Both petabits and exabytes are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 Pb = 0.000125 EB. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petabit (Pb) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1.000 × 10¹⁵ bits |
| Exabyte (EB) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8.000 × 10¹⁸ bits |

FAQs: Petabit to Exabyte Conversion
6 questions Quick answers on converting petabits to exabytes, using the same factors as the converter above.
-
How many exabytes are in 1 petabit?
1 Pb = 0.000125 EB
1 Petabit (Pb) equals 0.000125 Exabytes using the SI decimal standard.
-
How many petabits are in 1 exabyte?
1 EB = 8,000 Pb
1 Exabyte (EB) equals 8,000 Petabits.
-
How do I convert petabits to exabytes?
Pb × 0.000125 = EB
Multiply the petabit value by 0.000125 to get exabytes. For example, 10 Pb = 0.00125 EB. To convert back (vice versa), multiply exabytes by 8,000.
-
Is a petabit bigger than a exabyte?
EB is 8,000× larger than Pb
No. 1 Pb = 0.000125 EB, so the exabyte is larger — 1 EB = 8,000 Pb.
-
Does Pb to EB use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both petabits and exabytes are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 Pb = 0.000125 EB. 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 Petabit (Pb) commonly used for?
Common uses of the petabit (Pb) include: Internet exchange points, submarine cables, global network traffic.
