MB to Bits Converter

How to convert megabytes to bits

Formulab = MB × 8,000,000

Multiply the value in megabytes by 8,000,000. To go the other way, multiply by 1.25×10⁻⁷ (or divide by 8,000,000).

A megabyte is larger than a bit: one megabyte contains 8,000,000 bits.

About the units

Megabyte (MB)

1,000,000 bytes (decimal). A minute of MP3 audio is about 1 MB. One megabyte equals 8,000,000 bits (b).

Bit (b)

A single binary digit, 0 or 1.

Frequently asked questions

How many bits are in one megabyte?

There are 8,000,000 bits in one megabyte, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert megabytes to bits?

Multiply the number of megabytes by 8,000,000. For example, 10 MB × 8,000,000 = 80,000,000 b.

How many megabytes are in one bit?

One bit equals 1.25×10⁻⁷ megabytes. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 8,000,000.

What is 10 megabytes in bits?

10 MB = 80,000,000 b.

Is this MB to b converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
