Micrometers to nanometers Conversion
1 micrometers (μm) is equal to 1000 nanometers (nm).
1 μm = 1000 nm
or
1 nm = 0.001 μm
Formula
To convert a length from micrometers (μm) to nanometers (nm), multiply the length in micrometers by 1000
l(nm) = l(μm) × 1000
Examples:
Convert 500 micrometers to nanometers:
l(nm) = 500μm × 1000 = 500000 nm

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert micrometers to nanometers?
Multiply the value in micrometers by 1000 to get the result in nanometers. For example, 5 μm × 1000 = 5000 nm.
How many nanometers are in 1 micrometers?
1 micrometers (μm) is equal to 1000 nanometers (nm).
How do I convert nanometers back to micrometers?
Use the inverse operation: divide the value in nanometers by 1000 to get the result in micrometers.
How accurate is the micrometers to nanometers conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 1000 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
