Kilobytes per Second to Megabytes per Second

How to convert kilobytes per second to megabytes per second

FormulaMB/s = kB/s × 0.001

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

A kilobyte per second is smaller than a megabyte per second: it takes 1,000 kilobytes per second to make one megabyte per second.

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).

Megabyte per second (MB/s)

One million bytes per second — what download managers and disk benchmarks usually show. One megabyte per second equals 8,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

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

There are 0.001 megabytes per second in one kilobyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

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

Multiply the number of kilobytes per second by 0.001. For example, 10 kB/s × 0.001 = 0.01 MB/s.

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

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

What is 10 kilobytes per second in megabytes per second?

10 kB/s = 0.01 MB/s.

Is this kB/s to MB/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.
