Micrometres to Nanometres Converter
Convert micrometres (µm) to nanometres (nm) instantly. Length conversions come up when reading overseas furniture specs, cycling the Round Island Route in kilometres while a foreign app shows miles, or checking marine distances in the Singapore Strait in nautical miles.
Result
- Nanometres
- 1,000 nm
How to use the micrometres to nanometres converter
- Enter the micrometres (µm).
- The results update as you type, or press Calculate.
- Read the nanometres first, then the supporting figures below it.
Formula
Nanometres = micrometres × 1,000
Worked example
For example, with these inputs:
- Micrometres (µm): 1
the calculator returns:
- Nanometres: 1,000 nm

About this conversion
Length conversions come up when reading overseas furniture specs, cycling the Round Island Route in kilometres while a foreign app shows miles, or checking marine distances in the Singapore Strait in nautical miles.
A conversion table is handy for common values, but a calculator is faster and avoids interpolation errors for anything in between.
Writing the units next to every number while you work is the simplest way to avoid mistakes. If the units do not cancel to leave the one you want, the calculation is set up wrongly.
