MB/s to Mbps Converter
1 megabyte per second = 8 megabits per second
Type a value in either box: the conversion between megabytes per second (MB/s) and megabits per second (Mbit/s) updates instantly.
Good to know
Multiply MB/s by 8 to get Mbps. A download running at 5 MB/s uses 40 Mbps of your connection.
How to convert megabytes per second to megabits per second
To convert megabytes per second to megabits per second, multiply the number of megabytes per second by 8. To go the other way, multiply megabits per second by 0.125.
Mbit/s = MB/s × 8
Worked examples
- 1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s
- 12.5 MB/s = 100 Mbit/s
- 50 MB/s = 400 Mbit/s
- 125 MB/s = 1,000 Mbit/s

About the units
MB/s (MB/s)
Megabytes per second (MB/s) is the speed browsers and download managers show. One byte is 8 bits, so 1 MB/s equals 8 Mbps.
Mbps (Mbit/s)
Megabits per second (Mbps or Mbit/s) is the unit internet providers use to advertise speeds. 1 Mbps is one million bits per second.
