Data Conversion Chart
Printable data conversion chart for bits, bytes, kilobits, megabits and gigabits. Print this table or use the API and calculators for custom decimal precision.
Data
Core conversion table
| Input | Equivalent | Unit pair |

| 1 bytes | 8 bits | byte -> bit |
| 8 bits | 1 bytes | bit -> byte |
| 1 kilobits | 125 bytes | kb -> byte |
| 8 megabits | 1 megabytes | mb -> mbyte |
| 1 gigabits | 125 megabytes | gb -> mbyte |

Guide & details
How to use this chart
Use the table for quick checks, classroom handouts and desk references. For values not shown here, open the converter or call the API with your own value, from unit and to unit.
Best uses for this chart
The Data Conversion Chart is built as a quick reference after the table, so the printable conversion values stay first and the explanatory content stays below the core task.
- JSON, CSV and structured-data cleanup for imports, APIs, logs and spreadsheet handoff.
- Validating a small payload before saving it, sending it to an endpoint or sharing it with a teammate.
- Keeping formatting local first, then using public endpoints only when the tool exposes one.
Chart accuracy notes
- Small formatting tools are best for validation and cleanup, not for storing large private datasets.
- CSV and JSON conversions depend on headers, quoting and valid structure; inspect the output before importing it elsewhere.
Common chart mistakes
- Do not assume malformed JSON or CSV can be repaired safely without checking the error message.
- Nested data can flatten differently depending on the destination system, so inspect sample rows before importing.
- Keep a copy of the original payload before formatting, minifying or converting it.
Next steps from this reference
- Validate a small sample before importing a large file.
- Inspect quoting, headers and nested values.
- Use API endpoints only for non-sensitive data.
