# 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.
