How to use it
- Type the value in the megabits per second box.
- Read the result in gigabits 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
Gbps = Mbps × 0.001
Multiply the value in megabits per second by 0.001 to get gigabits per second.
Example
To convert 25 Mbps to gigabits per second: 25 × 0.001 = 0.025 Gbps.

| 5 | 0.005 |
| 10 | 0.01 |
| 20 | 0.02 |
| 25 | 0.025 |
| 50 | 0.05 |
| 100 | 0.1 |
| 250 | 0.25 |

About the units
- Megabit per second
- Equal to exactly 10^6 bits per second, the usual unit in internet and fiber plan adverts.
- Gigabit per second
- Equal to exactly 10^9 bits per second, which is 1000 megabits per second.
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 gigabits per second are in one megabit per second?
1 Mbps = 0.001 Gbps exactly.
How do I convert megabits per second to gigabits per second?
Use Gbps = Mbps × 0.001. For example, 25 Mbps = 0.025 Gbps.
How many megabits per second are in one gigabit per second?
1 Gbps = 1,000 Mbps.
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.
