About bits and megabytes
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 megabyte (MB) is 1,024 kilobytes in this converter. It is a common unit for photos, songs and documents.
How the conversion works
Converts bits to megabytes, and back again. Type a value in either box and the other one updates as you type. The conversion uses 1 bit = 0.000000119209 megabytes.
