What this tool does
Convert megabits per second (Mbps) to kilobits, gigabits, megabytes per second and other data transfer rate units. Type an amount in megabits per second, choose the units, and the tool converts it to gigabits per second. It offers 16 data transfer rate units and also shows the same amount in the others.
Inputs
- Value: A number.
- From: Choose one from 16 options, including Bit per second, Kilobit per second, Megabit per second, Gigabit per second, Terabit per second, Byte per second. Starts as Megabit per second.
- To: Choose one of the same 16 units as "From". Starts as Gigabit per second.
How to use
- Enter the amount you want to convert.
- Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
- Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.
Worked examples
Conversions from megabits per second to gigabits per second:
- 1 Mbit/s = 0.001 Gbit/s
- 5 Mbit/s = 0.005 Gbit/s
- 10 Mbit/s = 0.01 Gbit/s
- 50 Mbit/s = 0.05 Gbit/s
- 100 Mbit/s = 0.1 Gbit/s
Multiply the number of megabits per second by 0.001 to get gigabits per second. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.001 is the exact factor: 1 Mbit/s = 0.001 Gbit/s.

Limitations
- Converts the unit of a data rate only. It does not estimate download times or measure your connection.
- Kilo, mega and giga here are the decimal (SI) prefixes, powers of 1000, as network speeds are quoted. Kibi, mebi and gibi are the binary prefixes, powers of 1024.
FAQs
- Q: How many MB/s is one Mbps?
- A: One Mbps is 0.125 MB/s, because a byte is 8 bits. Divide megabits by 8 for megabytes.
- Q: How many kbps is one Mbps?
- A: One Mbps is 1000 kbps.
- Q: What are mebibits?
- A: A mebibit is 1024 x 1024 bits, the binary counterpart of the megabit (1,000,000 bits). The page lists both so you can see the difference.
