Petabytes to bits

1 petabyte in bits
1 PB = 8 × 10^15 bit
bit = PB × 8 × 10^15

To convert petabytes to bits, multiply by 8 × 10^15. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

Petabytes to bits table

20 PB 1.6 × 10^17
25 PB 2 × 10^17
30 PB 2.4 × 10^17
40 PB 3.2 × 10^17
50 PB 4 × 10^17
75 PB 6 × 10^17
100 PB 8 × 10^17
250 PB 2 × 10^18
500 PB 4 × 10^18
1,000 PB 8 × 10^18

How the conversion works

The relationship is bit = PB × 8 × 10^15. Both units measure data, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many bits are in one petabyte?
One petabyte equals 8 × 10^15 bits. bit = PB × 8 × 10^15.
How do you convert petabytes to bits?
Use bit = PB × 8 × 10^15. So 10 PB is 8 × 10^16 bit.
How many petabytes are in one bit?
One bit equals 1.25 × 10^-16 petabytes, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
