Formula
This conversion page is dedicated to the kilobyte-to-bit direction so the unit relationship, reverse path and examples are easy to find. For scale-factor units, XpressCalculator converts through the domain base unit using internationally recognized unit definitions. Temperature scales use their standard offset-and-scale equations rather than a simple multiplier.
Worked example
Starting with 1 kilobyte (kB), the converter returns 8000 bit (bit). For any other value, enter the number above and the browser recalculates the result immediately.

Helpful guide
Unit conversions are most reliable when the source value and unit are identified correctly. Do not confuse similarly named US customary and imperial units, and keep significant figures appropriate to the precision of the original measurement. For engineering, scientific, medical or safety-critical work, confirm the measurement standard required by your application.
Use sensible precision and verify critical decisions with an authoritative source or qualified professional.
