About bits and gigabytes
A bit is the smallest unit of digital data. It holds a single value, either 0 or 1. The word is short for binary digit.
A gigabyte (GB) is 1,024 megabytes in this converter. Phone storage, memory and data plans are often given in gigabytes.
How the conversion works
Converts bits to gigabytes, and back again. Type a value in either box and the other one updates as you type. The conversion uses 1 bit = 0.000000000116415 gigabytes.

How to use it
- Enter a value in bits to see it in gigabytes, or type in the other box to convert the opposite way.
- Check the quick conversion table below for common values.
- To convert by hand, multiply the number of bits by 0.000000000116415.
Did you know?
- Internet speeds are usually quoted in bits per second, while file sizes are quoted in bytes.
- Storage makers usually count a gigabyte as 1,000,000,000 bytes, which is why a new drive can show less space than advertised.
