Kilobytes to bits
1 kilobyte in bits
1 kB = 8,000 bit
bit = kB × 8,000
To convert kilobytes to bits, multiply by 8,000. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

How the conversion works
The relationship is bit = kB × 8,000. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.
Kilobyte: Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
Common questions
- How many bits are in one kilobyte?
- One kilobyte equals 8,000 bits. bit = kB × 8,000.
- How do you convert kilobytes to bits?
- Use bit = kB × 8,000. So 10 kB is 80,000 bit.
- How many kilobytes are in one bit?
- One bit equals 0.000125 kilobytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
- Is there more than one kind of kilobyte?
- Decimal: 1,000 bytes.
