How to convert gigabytes to bits
Gigabytes and Bits both measure data, so converting is a single multiplication. One GB equals 8,000,000,000 bit, so you multiply your gigabytes value by 8,000,000,000.
Formula: bits = gigabytes × 8,000,000,000. For example, 10 GB = 80,000,000,000 bit.

Gigabytes and Bits explained
Gigabytes (GB): One billion bytes, used for videos, apps and storage.
Bits (bit): The smallest unit of digital information, one-eighth of a byte.
When you'd convert gigabytes to bits
You'll convert gigabytes to bits whenever a measurement is given in one unit but you need it in the other — comparing gigabytes and bits figures across regions, following a recipe or spec, or double-checking a number. Because 1 GB is exactly 8,000,000,000 bit, the result is precise every time.
Frequently asked questions
How many bits are in a gigabyte?
One GB equals 8,000,000,000 bit. Multiply your gigabytes figure by 8,000,000,000 to get bits.
What is the formula to convert gigabytes to bits?
bits = gigabytes × 8,000,000,000. The factor 8,000,000,000 is exact.
What is 2 gigabytes in bits?
2 GB = 16,000,000,000 bit. You can enter any value in the converter above to get an instant result.
Is this Gigabytes to Bits converter accurate?
Yes. It uses the standard conversion factor (1 GB = 8,000,000,000 bit) defined by IEC 80000-13 — units of information (bit, byte), so results are exact to several decimal places.
