The pebibit is a multiple of the bit, a unit of digital information storage, prefixed by the standards-based multiplier pebi (symbol Pi), a binary prefix meaning 250.[1][2] The unit symbol of the pebibit is Pibit or Pib.

1 pebibit = 250 bits = 1125899906842624bits = 1024 tebibits[3]

The pebibit is closely related to the petabit, the corresponding unit using the metric prefix peta, which is 1015 bits.

The binary prefixes are not part of the International System of Units (SI).
