Nanometres to Micrometres Converter
Convert nanometres (nm) to micrometres (µm) 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
- Micrometres
- 0.001 µm
How to use the nanometres to micrometres converter
- Enter the nanometres (nm).
- The results update as you type, or press Calculate.
- Read the micrometres first, then the supporting figures below it.
Formula
Micrometres = nanometres × 0.001
Worked example
For example, with these inputs:
- Nanometres (nm): 1
the calculator returns:
- Micrometres: 0.001 µm

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.
Many conversion factors are exact by definition. The inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 centimetres since 1959, and the pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so conversions involving them can be as precise as you need.
