The smallest unit of digital information, representing a single binary value of 0 or 1.
View the bit data unit pageHow to Convert Gigabytes to Bits
To convert gigabytes to bits, multiply by 8 then adjust for scale. This converts byte-based storage measurements to bit-based units.
GB is a byte-based unit used for measuring file sizes and storage capacity.
b is a bit-based unit—multiply bytes by 8 to get bits. Related: Gigabytes to Nibbles.
1 GB = 8,000,000,000 b (using SI decimal standard) — which means there are 8,000,000,000bits in every gigabyte.
GB to b conversion rate: 1 gigabyte equals 8,000,000,000bits — the standard gigabyte to bit data storage conversion used by this calculator.
Quick Facts: GB to b Storage Conversion

GB to b Conversion Formula
Here's the exact GB to b formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 8,000,000,000 to go from gigabytes to bits, or by 1.250000e-10 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same conversion.
// Convert GB to b
b = GB × 8,000,000,000
// Reverse: Convert b to GB
GB = b × 1.250000e-10
