Mbps Converter
Convert megabits per second to megabytes per second and between other data transfer rate units with real-time results.
Megabits vs Megabytes per Second
Internet providers quote speeds in megabits per second (Mbps), while file transfers are often measured in megabytes per second (MBps). The lowercase "b" means bits; uppercase "B" means bytes. One byte equals 8 bits.
Conversion Formula
$$MBps = \frac{Mbps}{8}$$
$$Mbps = MBps \times 8$$
Common Examples
- 8 Mbps = 1 MBps
- 100 Mbps = 12.5 MBps
- 300 Mbps = 37.5 MBps
- 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) = 125 MBps

Frequently Asked Questions
How many MBps is 100 Mbps?
Divide 100 by 8 to get 12.5 MBps. A 100 Mbps connection can theoretically transfer 12.5 megabytes per second.
Why is Mbps different from MBps?
Mbps measures bits per second (network speed). MBps measures bytes per second (file transfer speed). Since 1 byte = 8 bits, Mbps values are 8 times larger than the equivalent MBps value.
How do I convert Mbps to KBps?
First convert Mbps to MBps by dividing by 8, then multiply by 1024 for binary kilobytes or by 1000 for decimal kilobytes.
What does 1 Gbps equal in MBps?
1 Gbps equals 1000 Mbps, which equals 125 MBps (1000 ÷ 8).
Is my download speed in Mbps or MBps?
Internet plans and speed tests typically show Mbps. File download managers and transfer tools usually display MBps.
