Quick answer
1 nanometer (nm) is equal to 0.001 micrometers (µm). 1 micrometer (µm) is equal to 1,000 nanometers (nm).
To convert nm to µm, multiply the value in nanometers by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000). For example, 10 nm = 0.01 µm, and 100 nm = 0.1 µm.

About nanometers and micrometers
Nanometer (nm)
A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter. It is used for wavelengths of light and for sizes at the atomic and molecular scale.
Micrometer (µm)
A micrometer (µm) is one millionth of a meter. It is used for microscopic sizes such as cells and fine fibers.
nm to µm: common questions
- How many micrometers are in 1 nanometer?
- 1 nanometer (nm) is equal to 0.001 micrometers (µm). In short: 1 nm = 0.001 µm.
- How do I convert nanometers to micrometers?
- To convert nm to µm, multiply the value in nanometers by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000). For example, 5 nm = 0.005 µm.
- How do I convert micrometers to nanometers?
- To convert µm to nm, multiply the value in micrometers by 1,000. Or open the Micrometer to Nanometer converter, which does it for you.
- What is 10 nm in µm, and what is 100 nm?
- 10 nm = 0.01 µm, and 100 nm = 0.1 µm. The table above lists more values from 1 to 1,000.
- Is this nm to µm 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.
