The gibibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of information, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier gibi (symbol Gi), a binary prefix meaning 2³⁰. The official unit symbol of the gibibit is Gibit. The alternative Gib is sometimes used.

1 gibibit = 2³⁰ bits = 1073741824bits = 1024mebibits

The gibibit is closely related to the gigabit, the corresponding unit using the metric prefix giga, which is 10⁹ bits.
