How to use it
- Type the value in the mebibytes per second box.
- Read the result in megabits per second as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
Mbps = MiB/s × 8.388608
Multiply the value in mebibytes per second by 8.388608 to get megabits per second.
Example
To convert 25 MiB/s to megabits per second: 25 × 8.388608 = 209.715 Mbps.

About the units
- Mebibyte per second
- Equal to 1,048,576 bytes per second (2^20), which is exactly 8,388,608 bits per second. Many download tools label it MB/s.
- Megabit per second
- Equal to exactly 10^6 bits per second, the usual unit in internet and fiber plan adverts.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many megabits per second are in one mebibyte per second?
1 MiB/s = 8.38861 Mbps exactly.
How do I convert mebibytes per second to megabits per second?
Use Mbps = MiB/s × 8.388608. For example, 25 MiB/s = 209.715 Mbps.
How many mebibytes per second are in one megabit per second?
1 Mbps = 0.119209 MiB/s.
Why is my download slower than my plan speed?
Plans are sold in megabits per second while download tools show megabytes per second, so divide by 8: a 100 Mbps plan tops out at 12.5 MB/s in theory. Network protocol overhead takes a little more.
How long does a 1 GB file take at 100 Mbps?
1 GB is 8000 megabits, and 8000 ÷ 100 = 80 seconds under ideal conditions. Real transfers are usually a little slower.
