Gigabytes to Gigabits (GB to Gbit)
Convert gigabytes to gigabits: 1 GB = 8 Gbit. Exact conversion factor, formula, 18-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 GB = 8 Gbit
gigabits = gigabytes × 8 — reverse: gigabytes = gigabits × 0.125
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: B) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 1.5 GB = 12 Gbit
- 700 GB = 5600 Gbit
- 2048 GB = 16384 Gbit

FAQ
How many gigabits are in one gigabyte?
1 GB = 8 Gbit. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.
What is the formula to convert gigabytes to gigabits?
Multiply the value in gigabytes by 8: gigabits = gigabytes × 8. For example, 1.5 GB = 12 Gbit.
How do I convert gigabits back to gigabytes?
Multiply by the inverse factor 0.125 (gigabytes = gigabits × 0.125), or use the gigabits-to-gigabytes page.
