Nanometers to Micrometers Converter

1 nanometer (nm) equals 0.001 micrometers (µm).

Quick answer

1 nanometer = 0.001 micrometers
1 micrometer = 1,000 nanometers
Formula: µm = nm ÷ 1,000

From To 0.001

1 nanometer = 0.001 micrometers

How to convert nanometers to micrometers

µm = nm ÷ 1,000

To convert nanometers to micrometers, divide the number of nanometers by 1,000.

Example: 18 nm to µm

Start with the value in nanometers: 18 nm.
Divide by 1,000: 18 ÷ 1,000 = 0.018.
Result: 18 nanometers = 0.018 micrometers.

Going the other way, 1 micrometer = 1,000 nanometers, so to convert micrometers back to nanometers you multiply by the same number. See micrometers to nanometers.
