This page converts bytes per second into gibibytes per second using the factor 9.313225746e-10, and shows the reverse figure alongside it. Both units measure how much data moves per second, which is why one number does the whole job.
One byte per second is eight bits per second. File transfer tools report bytes, which is the single most common source of confusion about whether a connection is running at its rated speed. Gibibytes per second is the binary counterpart of GB/s, 7.4% larger.
Bits and bytes. Network speeds are sold in bits per second and file transfers are reported in bytes per second, and there are eight bits to a byte, so a 100 Mbps line downloads at about 12 MB/s. A connection is not underperforming by a factor of eight; it is being measured in different units. Two tables follow: rounded steps for quick lookup, and a set of real reference quantities converted into gibibytes per second, which is usually more useful than the bare number.
The formula
bytes per second- The amount you are converting, in bytes per second
9.31322574615e-10- The exact number of gibibytes per second in one byte per second
gibibytes per second- The converted result
How it works, step by step
- Enter the value in bytes per second.
- It is multiplied by 9.31322574615e-10, the exact factor between the two units.
- The answer is shown in gibibytes per second, with the reverse conversion beneath it.
- Check the reference table if you want a figure of comparable size.
Worked examples
MP3 audio, 320 kbps: 4e+04 B/s in gibibytes per second
MP3 audio, 320 kbps comes to about 4e+04 B/s. Multiplying by the factor: 4e+04 × 9.31323e-10 = 3.72529e-05 GiB/s. Dividing the answer back by 9.31323e-10 returns the figure you started with, which is the quickest way to check you have the factor the right way up.
HD video stream: 1e+06 B/s in gibibytes per second
At 1e+06 B/s (hd video stream), the same quantity in gibibytes per second is 1e+06 × 9.31323e-10 = 0.000931323 GiB/s. One byte per second is 9.31323e-10 gibibytes per second, so the numbers shrink as expected.
How to read your score
Frequently asked questions
How many gibibytes per second are in one byte per second?
Exactly 9.31322574615e-10. Every figure on this page is that one number multiplied by your input, so the only rounding is at the display step.
What is the formula to convert bytes per second to gibibytes per second?
gibibytes per second = bytes per second × 9.31322574615e-10. Reversed, bytes per second = gibibytes per second ÷ 9.31322574615e-10, which is the same as multiplying by 1,073,741,824.
Which is the bigger unit, the byte per second or the gibibyte per second?
The gibibyte per second. One byte per second is only 9.31323e-10 of a gibibyte per second, so it takes 1.07374e+09 bytes per second to make one gibibyte per second.
What does this quantity actually measure?
Both units measure how much data moves per second. That is why a single factor is enough: there is no temperature offset and no material property involved, unlike conversions that cross between different quantities.
What is a byte per second?
One byte per second is eight bits per second. File transfer tools report bytes, which is the single most common source of confusion about whether a connection is running at its rated speed.
What is a gibibyte per second?
Gibibytes per second is the binary counterpart of GB/s, 7.4% larger.
Why does my answer differ from another converter?
Almost always because the other tool rounded the factor before multiplying. This page keeps full double precision through the calculation and rounds only for display, and it prints the factor it used so you can see where any difference came from.
Is there a quick way to do B/s to GiB/s in my head?
Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 1100000000.000000 instead of using the exact factor 9.3132e-10. At 100 that shortcut gives 9.0909e-08 gibibytes per second, off by 2.2232e-09 gibibytes per second or about 2.39%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
