Data Transfer Rate Converter

Instantly convert data transfer rates between bit/s, Mbit/s, Gbit/s, B/s, MB/s, MiB/s and other SI and IEC rates.

Use a comma or period as the decimal separator; do not use thousands separators.

Good to know

The data transfer rate converter converts directly in your browser between base units, decimal SI units (bit and byte), and binary IEC units (bit and byte). Mbit/s measures megabits per second, MB/s measures megabytes per second — one byte equals eight bits.

Typical searches include Mbit to MB/s, convert download speed, and calculate bandwidth. Calculation runs locally in the browser. Decimal units use a factor of 1000, binary IEC units a factor of 1024. Network figures are also often theoretical maxima; protocol overhead reduces real throughput.

Typical use cases

Interpret internet speed as download time

Convert a plan's advertised Mbit/s speed into MB/s to estimate the actual download time for a file.

Compare network and storage throughput

Convert transfer rates between decimal and binary units to compare network figures with storage specs.

Tips for better results

Don't confuse bit and byte

Internet providers usually state speeds in Mbit/s, download managers often show MB/s — a factor-8 difference.

Critically assess theoretical maximum values

Advertised network speeds are often theoretical maxima — protocol overhead reduces the actually usable rate.

How it works

Step by step

  1. 1

    Enter value and source unit

    Enter the transfer rate and choose the source unit.

  2. 2

    Choose the target unit

    Choose the target unit, even across the decimal and binary systems.

  3. 3

    Copy the result

    Copy one or all results for further use.

Features

SI and IEC units separated

Decimal SI units and binary IEC units for bit and byte are cleanly separated.

Local conversion

Calculation happens directly in the browser, without transmission to a server.

Built-in Mbit/s-vs-MB/s explanation

A note explains directly in the tool the difference between Mbit/s, MB/s, and MiB/s.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my download speed slower than advertised?

Because Mbit/s (the advertised unit) and MB/s (what download displays often show) differ by a factor of 8, and protocol overhead additionally reduces the real rate.

Are my inputs uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely locally in the browser.
