Frequently asked questions
What is the source unit in this conversion?
The source unit is the kilobit (kb), a decimal (SI) unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 bits.
What is the destination unit in this conversion?
The destination unit is the gibibyte (GiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 mebibytes, or 2^30 bytes.
How do I convert kilobits to gibibytes?
Multiply the kilobit value by 1.164153 × 10-7 to get gibibytes. For example, 4 kb × 1.164153 × 10-7 = 4.656613 × 10-7 GiB.
Is the kilobit to gibibyte conversion exact?
It's exact given the fixed definitions used here: decimal storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,000, while binary storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,024. The two scales are related by an exact factor, but they should not be confused with each other in casual usage, since a decimal and a binary unit with a similar-looking name represent different amounts of data.
Where is this conversion commonly used?
It's used for describing file sizes, storage drive capacity, RAM, network bandwidth, and internet data plans or downloads.
Can I convert gibibytes back to kilobits?
Yes. Divide the gibibyte value by 1.164153 × 10-7 to get kilobits.

About this conversion
This page converts kilobits (kb), a decimal (SI) unit of digital storage equal to 1,000 bits, into gibibytes (GiB), a binary (IEC) unit of digital storage equal to 1,024 mebibytes, or 2^30 bytes.
This conversion is used constantly when checking file sizes, storage drive and memory capacity, network bandwidth, and mobile or broadband data plan allowances.
The formula is GiB = kb × 1.164153 × 10-7, based on the fixed relationship between these two digital storage units.
It's exact given the fixed definitions used here: decimal storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,000, while binary storage prefixes are based on powers of 1,024. The two scales are related by an exact factor, but they should not be confused with each other in casual usage, since a decimal and a binary unit with a similar-looking name represent different amounts of data.
Digital storage prefixes follow the International System of Units (SI) for decimal units and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) recommendations for binary units, keeping decimal and binary quantities unambiguous.
