Free Data Transfer Rate Converter
Your plan promises 500 Mbps but downloads crawl at 60 MB/s — same speed, different units. This free data transfer converter translates between bits and bytes per second across Kbps, Mbps and Gbps, so advertised speeds and real downloads finally speak the same language.

- Choose the units to convert from and to — use the ⇄ button to swap them instantly.
- See the result immediately, plus the value converted into every other transfer-rate unit in the table below.
- Copy the result with one click to use it anywhere.
Features
Seven transfer-rate units: bps, Kbps, Mbps, Gbps, B/s, KB/s and MB/s. Network speeds use decimal (1,000-based) prefixes per telecom standard. Live results and swap included.
Benefits & Use Cases
Anyone comparing ISP plans, estimating download times, or sizing video streams gets clarity in one step. The bits-vs-bytes confusion disappears when both appear side by side.
Tips
Divide Mbps by 8 to get MB/s: 100 Mbps ≈ 12.5 MB/s theoretical maximum. Real speeds run lower due to overhead — expect 85–90% of the headline figure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Mbps to MB/s?
Divide by 8. For example, 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s.
What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?
Mbps is megabits per second (network speed); MB/s is megabytes per second (8× larger). ISPs advertise the former.
How many Kbps are in a Mbps?
1,000 Kbps per Mbps — network speeds use decimal prefixes.
How long does 1 GB take to download at 100 Mbps?
1 GB = 8,000 Mb, so about 80 seconds at full speed — roughly a minute and a half with overhead.
