Quick answer
1 micrometer (µm) is equal to 0.0001 centimeters (cm). 1 centimeter (cm) is equal to 10,000 micrometers (µm).
To convert µm to cm, multiply the value in micrometers by 0.0001 (or divide by 10,000). For example, 10 µm = 0.001 cm, and 100 µm = 0.01 cm.

About micrometers and centimeters
Micrometer (µm)
A micrometer (µm) is one millionth of a meter. It is used for microscopic sizes such as cells and fine fibers.
Centimeter (cm)
A centimeter (cm) is one hundredth of a meter, or 10 millimeters. It is the everyday unit for small objects, clothing and measurements around the home.
µm to cm: common questions
- How many centimeters are in 1 micrometer?
- 1 micrometer (µm) is equal to 0.0001 centimeters (cm). In short: 1 µm = 0.0001 cm.
- How do I convert micrometers to centimeters?
- To convert µm to cm, multiply the value in micrometers by 0.0001 (or divide by 10,000). For example, 5 µm = 0.0005 cm.
- How do I convert centimeters to micrometers?
- To convert cm to µm, multiply the value in centimeters by 10,000. Or open the Centimeter to Micrometer converter, which does it for you.
- What is 10 µm in cm, and what is 100 µm?
- 10 µm = 0.001 cm, and 100 µm = 0.01 cm. The table above lists more values from 1 to 1,000.
- Is this µm to cm converter accurate?
- Yes. It uses the exact conversion factor and shows results to as many as 8 decimal places, so you can rely on it for study, work and everyday measuring.
