To convert a measurement in kilobytes to a measurement in bits, multiply the data storage by the following conversion ratio: 8,192 bits/kilobyte.
Since one kilobyte is equal to 8,192 bits, you can use this simple formula to convert:
bits = kilobytes × 8,192
The data storage in bits is equal to the data storage in kilobytes multiplied by 8,192.
How Many Bits Are in a Kilobyte?
There are 8,192 bits in a kilobyte, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kB = 8,192 b
Kilobytes and bits are both units used to measure data storage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilobyte?
In the International System of Quantities, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 bytes, or 103 bytes. However, the kilobyte is commonly used interchangeably with the kibibyte (KiB), which is equal to 1,024 bytes or 210 bytes in the binary system.
So, depending on the context, one kilobyte is equal to 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
Kilobytes can be abbreviated as kB; for example, 1 kilobyte can be written as 1 kB.

What Is a Bit?
A bit, or more formally, a binary digit, is the smallest unit of information stored in digital systems. A bit can hold one of two possible values: one or zero.
Computers represent bits in circuits using a variety of techniques, but the most common way is using changes in voltage to represent the bit's value of one or zero.
Multiples of bits are represented using SI prefixes such as kilo, mega, giga, or tera.
Bits can be abbreviated as b; for example, 1 bit 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.
