Micrometers to nanometers
Convert micrometers (µm) to nanometers (nm) with our converter. Nanometers are calculated instantly from the micrometer value you enter.
1 µm = 1,000 nm
Formula
You can use the precise conversion formula below, if you want to convert micrometers to nanometers (µm to nm) manually.
Conversion formula: nm = µm × 1,000
Scientific basis: This relationship is based on SI prefixes, where 1 micrometer equals exactly 1,000 nanometers.
Equivalent value: 1 µm = 1,000 nm
Example: 20 µm = 20 × 1,000 = 20,000 nm
Explanation: To convert micrometers to nanometers, multiply the number of micrometers by 1,000.
