Megabytes per second to Megabits per second Converter MB/s → Mbit/s

1 megabyte per second (MB/s) = 8 megabits per second (Mbit/s). Type a value below — the conversion happens instantly, entirely on your device.

1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s

12.5 megabytes per second = 100 megabits per second

12.5 × 8 = 100

1 MB/s equals 8 Mbit/s, so multiplying by 8 converts the value. The result describes the exact same quantity — only the measuring stick changes.

How to convert megabytes per second to megabits per second

megabits per second = megabytes per second × 8 — multiply the megabyte per second value by 8.

Example: 12.5 MB/s = 100 Mbit/s.

To convert the other way: megabytes per second = megabits per second ÷ 8 — or use the dedicated Mbit/s to MB/s converter .

Going the other way — megabytes per second back to megabits — you multiply by 8. So a 12.5 MB/s download corresponds to a 100 Mbps line. Useful when a file-transfer tool reports MB/s and you want to compare it against an internet plan quoted in Mbps.

About the units

What is a megabyte per second?

A megabyte per second is 8 megabits/s (1,000,000 bytes/s). It's what your browser or download shows — an 80 Mbps line tops out near 10 MB/s.

What is a megabit per second?

A megabit per second is 1,000,000 bits/s — the unit internet plans are sold in ("100 Mbps"). Divide by 8 for megabytes per second.

Frequently asked questions

How many megabits per second are in 1 megabyte per second?

1 megabyte per second (MB/s) = 8 megabits per second (Mbit/s).

What is the formula to convert megabytes per second to megabits per second?

megabits per second = megabytes per second × 8 — multiply the megabyte per second value by 8.

How do I convert MB/s to Mbit/s without a calculator?

Multiply by 8 for a close estimate. Exact factor: 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s.

Is this MB/s-to-Mbit/s converter accurate and private?

Yes. It uses the exact internationally defined conversion factors and computes results locally in your browser — your input is never sent to a server, and the page keeps working offline.
