About converting Bits to Terabytes
Bits (bit) and Terabytes (TB) are both units of digital storage, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Bits figure by 0. Ten Bits comes to 0.000000000001 Terabytes, and a hundred works out at 0.000000000013 Terabytes.
Rule of thumb: going from Bits to Terabytes divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 8,000,000,000,000 Bits to make a single Terabyte. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Bit?
A bit is a single binary digit — one yes or no, the smallest thing a computer can distinguish. The name is a contraction of "binary digit", credited to John Tukey and made famous by Claude Shannon’s 1948 paper founding information theory. The practical thing to know is that bits and bytes live in different places: connection and network speeds are quoted in bits per second, while file sizes are in bytes. That is why a 100 Mbps line downloads at about 12.5 MB/s and people assume they have been cheated. Nobody has — the two figures are counting different things.
What is a Terabyte?
A terabyte is a trillion bytes, and it is the unit that makes the decimal-versus-binary confusion impossible to ignore: buy a 1 TB drive, plug it into Windows, and it reports roughly 931 GB. Nothing is missing and nobody has short-changed you — the manufacturer counted in decimal terabytes, as SI defines them and as this site does, while Windows divided by 1,024 three times and still wrote "GB" on the result. The honest label for what Windows shows is 931 GiB. macOS and Linux mostly report decimal now; Windows still does not.
To put both in perspective: a bit is a single yes-or-no, while a 1 TB drive shows up as about 931 GB in Windows.

Frequently asked questions
How many Terabytes are in one Bit?
There are 0 Terabytes in one Bit.
How do I convert Bits to Terabytes?
Multiply the number of Bits by 0. For example, 10 Bits = 0.000000000001 Terabytes.
What is 100 Bits in Terabytes?
100 Bits is equal to 0.000000000013 Terabytes.
How do I convert Terabytes to Bits?
Multiply the Terabytes value by 8,000,000,000,000 (or divide by 0).
Is this Bits to Terabytes conversion exact?
The definition is exact — Bits and Terabytes are both fixed against the same base by international agreement — but the decimal shown here is rounded for readability, because the true ratio does not terminate. For engineering or scientific work, carry more decimal places than this page displays.
