What the tool does, how to run it, and what to expect from the result.
The formula is bits = bytes × 8. The converter applies it at full precision as you type, so there is nothing to memorize and no rounding surprises.
Common values:
The reverse formula is bytes = bits ÷ 8. Press Swap units in the converter, or read the table below.

Instant B-to-bit conversion with the formula shown
Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.
1 byte = 8 bits, so the formula is bits = bytes × 8. The converter above applies it at full precision.
20 B = 160 bit.
Use bytes = bits ÷ 8, or press Swap units above. For example, 10 bit = 1.25 B.
This page uses the decimal SI units storage makers use: 1 KB = 1000 bytes, 1 MB = 1000 KB. Operating systems often count in binary (1 KiB = 1024 bytes), which is why a "1 TB" drive shows about 931 GB. The converter also offers KiB, MiB, GiB and TiB.
Yes. It computes bits = bytes × 8 at full double precision; the tables round to six significant digits for readability.
