FAQ
- How do you convert bytes to bits?
Multiply bytes by 8, because 1 byte equals 8 bits.
- Why are bytes bigger than bits?
A byte is made of 8 bits, so one byte holds more data than one bit.
- Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the Reverse button to switch between bytes to bits and bits to bytes.
- Are my inputs stored?
No. All calculations run locally in your browser.
