Bitrate Converter
Convert bitrate among bps, kbps, Mbps, and Gbps using decimal 1000-based prefixes.
How to use
- Enter bitrate and choose decimal-prefix input/output units from bps, kbps, Mbps, and Gbps.
Capabilities and scope
Rescale bits per second using the decimal prefixes commonly seen in networking and media specifications.
How it works
bps is the reference with kbps=10³ bps, Mbps=10⁶ bps, and Gbps=10⁹ bps.
Example
100 Mbps is 100,000 kbps or 0.1 Gbps.
Useful for
- Compare internet speeds in Mbps and Gbps
- Rescale audio/video bitrate
- Make large bps values readable
Before you use it
- B/s data-transfer rate uses bytes, not bits. Protocol overhead and real throughput are not predicted.

Frequently asked questions
Is 100 Mbps the same as 100 MB/s?
No. Since 8 bits = 1 byte, 100 Mbps is theoretically 12.5 MB/s before overhead.
