Bits Per Second (bps) to Kilobits Per Second (Kbps) Converter
The Bits Per Second (bps) to Kilobits Per Second (Kbps) Converter turns your Bit Per Second (bps) value into Kilobits Per Second (Kbps). Type your transfer speed in the input field — 1 bps = 0.001 Kbps, covering both bit-based and byte-based transfer rate units.

How to Convert Bits Per Second to Kilobits Per Second
To convert bits per second to kilobits per second, divide by 1,000. Both units measure network bandwidth in bits per second—the difference is simply the scale. Check out our Kbps to bps conversion rate.
bps: The fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing one bit transmitted per second. Common uses include Serial communications, legacy modems, low-speed sensors. See also: calculate bps to Ebps.
Kbps: A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Common for dial-up and low-speed connections. Typically used for Dial-up internet, audio streaming, VoIP calls. Learn more: how many Kilobits Per Second in a ZB/s.
1 bps = 0.001 Kbps — or equivalently, 1 Kbps = 1,000bps.
bps to Kbps Conversion Formula
// Convert bps to Kbps
Kbps = bps × 0.001
// Reverse: Convert Kbps to bps
bps = Kbps × 1,000Bit Per Second to Kilobit Per Second Conversion Examples
10 bps = 0.01 Kbps
50 bps = 0.05 Kbps
100 bps = 0.1 Kbps
500 bps = 0.5 Kbps
1,000 bps = 1 Kbps
What Is Bit Per Second (bps)? Definition and Uses
The fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing one bit transmitted per second. Check out our how many Tibps in Terabytes Per Second.
The bit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Use our Terabytes to PiB.
Common uses: Serial communications, legacy modems, low-speed sensors You might also need: convert bps to Exbibits Per Second.
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 Kilobit Per Second (Kbps)? Definition and Uses
A kilobit per second is 1,000 bits per second. Common for dial-up and low-speed connections. Use our Zebibits Per Second to Kbps calculator.
The kilobit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. See also: EiB/s to Zebibytes Per Second converter.
Common uses: Dial-up internet, audio streaming, VoIP calls You might also need: Mebibits to Nibbles conversion.
1 Kbps = 1 × 10³ bits per second.
The kilobit per second can be abbreviated as Kbps; for example, 1 kilobit per second can be written as 1 Kbps.
