How to convert kilobits per second to kilobytes per second
kB/s = kbit/s × 0.125
Example: 5 kbit/s × 0.125 = 0.625 kB/s

About these units
Kilobits per Second (kbit/s): Kilobits per second (kbps) is 1,000 bits per second, used for audio bitrates and slow connections.
Kilobytes per Second (kB/s): Kilobytes per second (kB/s) is 1,000 bytes per second, often shown for slower downloads.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilobytes per second are in 1 kilobit per second?
1 kilobit per second (kbit/s) equals 0.125 kilobytes per second (kB/s).
How do I convert kbit/s to kB/s?
Multiply the value in kilobits per second by 0.125. For example, 5 kbit/s × 0.125 = 0.625 kB/s.
How do I convert kilobytes per second back to kilobits per second?
Multiply by 8 (or divide by 0.125). 1 kB/s = 8 kbit/s.
What does kbit/s mean?
Kilobits per second (kbps) is 1,000 bits per second, used for audio bitrates and slow connections.
Conversion factors come from exact international definitions (NIST SP 811, BIPM) where they exist. Results show up to 10 significant digits. Need every data transfer rate unit at once? Use the Internet Speed Converter.
