BitBot – Bits & Bytes Converter

Quickly convert between bits, bytes, KB, KiB, MB, and more.

Installation

1. Open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X).
2. Search for BitBot.
3. Click Install.

Alternatively, install via the Marketplace URL: BitBot on VS Code Marketplace

Features

• Convert any of the 20 supported units (e.g., bits, bytes, KB, kB, KiB, MB, etc.).
• Auto‑detects unit suffixes (128kB, 256 KB, 512KiB).
• Preserves the input spacing style in the output.

Usage

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
2. Run BitBot: Convert Bits & Bytes.
3. Follow the sequential dialog:
   • Pick a source unit.
   • Enter the value.
   • Pick a target unit.
4. The result is displayed in the terminal.

Quick conversion from editor

You can also use BitBot directly in the editor:

• Select a value with a unit (e.g. 128kB) — auto-detects the source unit and value, skips those steps, and replaces the selection with the result.
• Select just a number (e.g. 128) — uses it as the value, skips the value input step, and replaces the selection.
• No selection — falls back to the full dialog as described above.
