One kibibyte per second is exactly 9.536743164e-07 gibibytes per second, so converting kibibytes per second to gibibytes per second is a single multiplication. Enter any figure and the result appears as you type — the arithmetic runs in your browser, so nothing is sent anywhere.
A kibibyte is exactly 1,024 bytes. Linux tools and torrent clients often report KiB/s while marketing uses kB/s, a 2.4% difference. Gibibytes per second is the binary counterpart of GB/s, 7.4% larger.
Bits and bytes. Network speeds are sold in bits per second and file transfers are reported in bytes per second, and there are eight bits to a byte, so a 100 Mbps line downloads at about 12 MB/s. A connection is not underperforming by a factor of eight; it is being measured in different units. Two tables follow: rounded steps for quick lookup, and a set of real reference quantities converted into gibibytes per second, which is usually more useful than the bare number.

Worked examples
MP3 audio, 320 kbps: 39.1 KiB/s in gibibytes per second
At 39.1 KiB/s (mp3 audio, 320 kbps), the same quantity in gibibytes per second is 39.1 × 9.53674e-07 = 3.72887e-05 GiB/s. One kibibyte per second is 9.53674e-07 gibibytes per second, so the numbers shrink as expected.
Wi-Fi 6 link rate: 1.46e+05 KiB/s in gibibytes per second
Wi-Fi 6 link rate comes to about 1.46e+05 KiB/s. Multiplying by the factor: 1.46e+05 × 9.53674e-07 = 0.139236 GiB/s. Dividing the answer back by 9.53674e-07 returns the figure you started with, which is the quickest way to check you have the factor the right way up.
How to read your score
Frequently asked questions
How many gibibytes per second are in one kibibyte per second?
Exactly 9.53674316406e-07. Every figure on this page is that one number multiplied by your input, so the only rounding is at the display step.
What is the formula to convert kibibytes per second to gibibytes per second?
gibibytes per second = kibibytes per second × 9.53674316406e-07. Reversed, kibibytes per second = gibibytes per second ÷ 9.53674316406e-07, which is the same as multiplying by 1,048,576.
Which is the bigger unit, the kibibyte per second or the gibibyte per second?
The gibibyte per second. One kibibyte per second is only 9.53674e-07 of a gibibyte per second, so it takes 1.04858e+06 kibibytes per second to make one gibibyte per second.
What does this quantity actually measure?
Both units measure how much data moves per second. That is why a single factor is enough: there is no temperature offset and no material property involved, unlike conversions that cross between different quantities.
What is a kibibyte per second?
A kibibyte is exactly 1,024 bytes. Linux tools and torrent clients often report KiB/s while marketing uses kB/s, a 2.4% difference.
What is a gibibyte per second?
Gibibytes per second is the binary counterpart of GB/s, 7.4% larger.
Why does my answer differ from another converter?
Almost always because the other tool rounded the factor before multiplying. This page keeps full double precision through the calculation and rounds only for display, and it prints the factor it used so you can see where any difference came from.
