How Gbps to Kbps Works
This converter uses decimal (SI) multipliers for bits: 1 kilobit (Kb) = 1,000 bits, 1 gigabit (Gb) = 1,000,000,000 bits. Therefore 1 Gbps (gigabit per second) equals 1,000,000 Kbps (kilobits per second). The tool converts either direction in real time — enter a value in Gbps to see Kbps, or in Kbps to see Gbps.
Conversion Definitions
What is a Gigabit per second (Gbps)?
Gbps is a data rate unit meaning billions (10⁹) of bits transferred per second. Commonly used for high-speed internet connections and backbone links.
What is a Kilobit per second (Kbps)?
Kbps is a data rate unit meaning thousands (10³) of bits transferred per second. Used for lower-speed links, telephony codecs, or legacy measurements.
Conversion Formula
Kbps = Gbps × 1,000,000 (decimal — SI). Conversely, Gbps = Kbps ÷ 1,000,000.
Conversion Example
Gigabits per second to Kilobits per second Conversion Example
Example: 2.5 Gbps = 2.5 × 1,000,000 = 2,500,000 Kbps. Enter 2.5 in the Gbps field to see the result instantly.

Related Units
- Mbps — Megabits per second (1 Mbps = 1,000 Kbps = 0.001 Gbps).
- GBps — Gigabytes per second (note uppercase B = bytes; 1 GBps = 8 Gbps).
- kbps vs KB/s — lowercase b = bits, uppercase B = bytes. 8 bits = 1 byte.
