How do I convert bits back to bytes?

Use the reverse converter: 1 bit equals 0.125 B.

Is this converter accurate?

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

Bytes to Bits Converter (B to bit)

Formula

To convert bytes to bits, multiply the value by 8.

bit = B × 8

Example calculation

Convert 10 B to bit:

10 B × 8 = 80 bit

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

Byte (B): Eight bits, the basic unit of computer storage and the size of one character in many encodings.
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.
