Nanosecond Converters

Convert nanoseconds to and from microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, picoseconds, and other time units.

What this tool does

Convert nanoseconds to and from microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, picoseconds, and other time units. Type an amount in nanoseconds, choose the units, and the tool converts it to microseconds. It offers 5 time units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one: Picosecond, Nanosecond, Microsecond, Millisecond, Second. Starts as Nanosecond.
  • To: Choose one of the same 5 units as "From". Starts as Microsecond.

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 nanoseconds to microseconds:

  • 1 ns = 0.001 µs
  • 5 ns = 0.005 µs
  • 10 ns = 0.01 µs
  • 50 ns = 0.05 µs
  • 100 ns = 0.1 µs

Multiply the number of nanoseconds by 0.001 to get microseconds. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.001 is the exact factor: 1 ns = 0.001 µs.

Limitations

  • Converts a length of time between units. It does not work out the time between two calendar dates.

FAQs

Q: How many microseconds are in one nanosecond?
A: One nanosecond is 0.001 microseconds. Change the From and To boxes to convert any other pair of units.
Q: Can I convert the other way, from microseconds to nanoseconds?
A: Yes. Swap the From and To units. One microsecond is 1,000 nanoseconds.
