How to Convert Petabytes to Bits
Converting petabytes (PB) to bits (b) is straightforward. One petabyte is equal to 10^15 bytes, and one byte is 8 bits. Therefore, 1 petabyte is equal to 8 × 10^15 bits.
Formula
Bits = Petabytes × 8 × 10^15
or
b = PB × 8,000,000,000,000,000
Step-by-step process
- Take the measurement in petabytes
- Multiply that number by 8,000,000,000,000,000
- The result is the equivalent amount in bits
Examples
- 1 petabyte = 8,000,000,000,000,000 bits
When to Convert Petabytes to Bits
This conversion is useful in low-level data analysis, network engineering, and anywhere that data needs to be understood at the bit level.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bits are in a petabyte?
There are 8,000,000,000,000,000 bits in one petabyte.
What is the difference between a petabyte and a bit?
A petabyte (PB) is a very large unit of digital information, equal to 10^15 bytes. A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer.
