Kilobytes per Second to Bytes per Second

How to convert kilobytes per second to bytes per second

FormulaB/s = kB/s × 1,000

Multiply the value in kilobytes per second by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).

A kilobyte per second is larger than a byte per second: one kilobyte per second contains 1,000 bytes per second.

Worked examples

About the units

Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

The kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One kilobyte per second equals 8,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Byte per second (B/s)

The byte per second (B/s) is a unit of data transfer rate. One byte per second equals 8 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

How many bytes per second are in one kilobyte per second?

There are 1,000 bytes per second in one kilobyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert kilobytes per second to bytes per second?

Multiply the number of kilobytes per second by 1,000. For example, 10 kB/s × 1,000 = 10,000 B/s.

How many kilobytes per second are in one byte per second?

One byte per second equals 0.001 kilobytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.

What is 10 kilobytes per second in bytes per second?

10 kB/s = 10,000 B/s.

Is this kB/s to B/s 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.
