How to Convert Bytes to Kilobits
Joe is the creator of Inch Calculator and has over 20 years of experience in engineering and construction. He holds several degrees and certifications.
To convert a measurement in bytes to a measurement in kilobits, divide the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 128 bytes/kilobit.
Since one kilobit is equal to 128 bytes, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilobits = bytes ÷ 128
The data storage in kilobits is equal to the data storage in bytes divided by 128.
Bytes and kilobits are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Byte?
A byte is a group of eight binary digits or bits. Most computers use one 8-bit byte as the smallest size of addressable memory.
Multiples of bytes are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.
Bytes can be abbreviated as B; for example, 1 byte can be written as 1 B.
You can use our binary calculator to convert a number of bits to other number systems such as hex or decimal.

What Is a Kilobit?
In the International System of Quantities, one kilobit is equal to 1,000 bits, or 103 bits. However, the kilobit is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibit (Kib), which is equal to 1,024 bits or 210 bits in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one kilobit is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bits.
Kilobits can be abbreviated as kb; for example, 1 kilobit can be written as 1 kb.
