Nanometer Converters

Convert nanometers to micrometers, angstroms, picometers, millimeters, meters and inches.

What this tool does

Convert nanometers to micrometers, angstroms, picometers, millimeters, meters and inches. Type an amount in nanometers, choose the units, and the tool converts it to micrometers. It offers 7 length units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Nanometer, Micrometer, Millimeter, Meter, Angstrom, Picometer, Inch. Starts as Nanometer.
  • To: Choose one of the same 7 units as "From". Starts as Micrometer.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from nanometers to micrometers:

  • 1 nm = 0.001 µm
  • 5 nm = 0.005 µm
  • 10 nm = 0.01 µm
  • 50 nm = 0.05 µm
  • 100 nm = 0.1 µm

Multiply the number of nanometers by 0.001 to get micrometers. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.001 is the exact factor: 1 nm = 0.001 µm.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a length only. It does not work out a length from other measurements.
  • Uses the international inch, which is exactly 25.4 millimeters.

FAQs

Q: How many micrometers are in one nanometer?
A: One nanometer is 0.001 µm. Enter any value and the converter scales it for you.
Q: How do I convert micrometers to nanometers?
A: Choose micrometer in the From box and nanometer in the To box. One micrometer is 1000 nm.
