How do I convert bytes back to bits?

Use the reverse converter: 1 byte equals 8 bit.

Is this converter accurate?

Yes. It uses the exact SI/NIST definitions of each unit and shows up to 6 significant digits.

Formula

To convert bits to bytes, multiply the value by 0.125.

B = bit × 0.125

How to convert 512 bit to B

512 bit × 0.125 = 64 B

Decimal vs binary: KB, MB and GB use powers of 1,000 (SI), while KiB, MiB and GiB use powers of 1,024. Storage makers use decimal units; many operating systems and memory sizes use binary ones, which is why a "500 GB" drive shows less space.

About the units

Bit (bit): The smallest unit of digital information, a 0 or 1. Used for network speeds. The term was coined in 1948 by Claude Shannon's colleague John Tukey.
Byte (B): Eight bits, the basic unit of computer storage and the size of one character in many encodings.
