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.

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.
