1 kilobyte = 8,000 bits · open this conversion

Formula

bits = kilobytes × 8,000

Decimal units: 1 kB = 1,000 bytes. Windows reports storage in binary units (1 KiB = 1,024 bytes), which is why a 1 TB drive shows as roughly 931 GB.

Frequently asked questions

▸How many bits are in a kilobyte?
One kilobyte is 8,000 bits. bits = kilobytes × 8,000.
▸How do I convert kilobytes to bits?
Multiply the number of kilobytes by 8,000. For example, 10 kB × 8,000 = 80,000 b.
▸What is the difference between kilobytes and bits?
Kilobyte (kB) and Bit (b) both measure data. Digital storage in decimal (SI) units, the same convention drive manufacturers and network speeds use: 1 kB is 1,000 bytes.
