Convert Byte to Bit
1 byte = 8 bits (B to bit).
Need to move between bytes and bits? A byte is larger than a bit — one byte contains 8 bits. One bit works out to 0.125 bytes in the other direction. The converter above does this in real time, and the reference chart lists the values that come up most often.
1 B = 8 bit
How to convert Bytes to Bits
Multiply the byte value by 8 to get bits.
Example: 10 bytes = 80 bits.
