Bits Per Second (bps) to Gigabytes Per Second (GB/s) Converter
The Bits Per Second (bps) to Gigabytes Per Second (GB/s) Converter turns your Bit Per Second (bps) value into Gigabytes Per Second (GB/s). Type your transfer speed in the input field — 1 bps = 1.250000e-10 GB/s, covering both bit-based and byte-based transfer rate units.

How to Convert Bits Per Second to Gigabytes Per Second
To convert bits per second to gigabytes per second, divide by 8,000,000,000 (or multiply by 1.250000e-10). This conversion accounts for the 8:1 relationship between bits and bytes—network speeds are measured in bits, while file sizes use bytes. Learn more: Gigabytes Per Second in Bits Per Second.
bps is a bit-based bandwidth commonly used for Serial communications, legacy modems, low-speed sensors. When you see your ISP advertise speeds in bps, this is the raw network bandwidth. Use our bps to PB/s.
GB/s is what you actually experience when downloading files. Your browser, torrent client, or download manager shows speeds in GB/s because that's how fast data is being written to your storage. Try the Gibps to GB/s converter.
1 bps = 1.250000e-10 GB/s — or equivalently, 1 GB/s = 8,000,000,000bps.
bps to GB/s Conversion Formula
// Convert bps to GB/s
GB/s = bps × 1.250000e-10
// Reverse: Convert GB/s to bps
bps = GB/s × 8,000,000,000Bit Per Second to Gigabyte Per Second Conversion Examples
10 bps = 0.00000000125 GB/s
50 bps = 0.00000000625 GB/s
100 bps = 0.0000000125 GB/s
500 bps = 0.0000000625 GB/s
1,000 bps = 0.000000125 GB/s
What Is Bit Per Second (bps)? Definition and Uses
The fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing one bit transmitted per second. Learn more: B/s to Mbps calculator.
The bit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. You might also need: convert EB to MiB.
Common uses: Serial communications, legacy modems, low-speed sensors You might also need: bps → Yibps.
1 bps = 1 bits per second.
The bit per second can be abbreviated as bps; for example, 1 bit per second can be written as 1 bps.
What Is Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s)? Definition and Uses
A gigabyte per second is 1,000 megabytes per second. Used for NVMe SSDs and high-speed storage. Related: Zebibits Per Second to Gigabytes Per Second.
The gigabyte per second is a byte-based throughput unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. You might also need: Kilobytes Per Second to Zettabytes Per Second converter.
Common uses: NVMe SSD speeds, PCIe bandwidth, high-performance computing, GPU memory See also: Yobibytes to Gigabits calculator.
1 GB/s = 8 × 10⁹ bits per second.
The gigabyte per second can be abbreviated as GB/s; for example, 1 gigabyte per second can be written as 1 GB/s.

Bits vs Bytes: Understanding Network Speed vs Download Speed
The difference between bits and bytes is crucial when working with bits per second and gigabytes per second:
| Unit Type | Symbol | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Bits per second | Mbps, Gbps | ISP speeds, network bandwidth, WiFi specs |
| Bytes per second | MB/s, GB/s | Download managers, file transfers, SSD speeds |
Quick Conversion Rule
Divide bits by 8 to get bytes. Your "100 Mbps" internet connection delivers a maximum of 12.5 MB/s actual download speed.
Real-world speeds are typically 70-85% of theoretical maximum due to protocol overhead, network congestion, and other factors.
