Nanometers to Micrometers (nm to μm)
Convert nanometers to micrometers: 1 nm = 0.001 μm. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 nm = 0.001 μm
micrometers = nanometers × 0.001 — reverse: nanometers = micrometers × 1000
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: m) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 5 nm = 0.005 μm
- 12.5 nm = 0.0125 μm
- 100 nm = 0.1 μm

FAQ
How many micrometers are in one nanometer?
1 nm = 0.001 μm. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.
What is the formula to convert nanometers to micrometers?
Multiply the value in nanometers by 0.001: micrometers = nanometers × 0.001. For example, 5 nm = 0.005 μm.
How do I convert micrometers back to nanometers?
Multiply by the inverse factor 1000 (nanometers = micrometers × 1000), or use the micrometers-to-nanometers page.
