Micrometers to Meters (µm to m) Converter

How to convert micrometers to meters

Formulam = µm × 0.000001

Multiply the value in micrometers by 0.000001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000,000 (or divide by 0.000001).

A micrometer is smaller than a meter: it takes 1,000,000 micrometers to make one meter.

About the units

Micrometer (µm)

One millionth of a metre, often called a micron. Human hair is roughly 50–100 µm across, and filter and particle sizes are given in micrometres. One micrometer equals 0.000001 meters (m).

Meter (m)

The SI base unit of length, defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. A typical interior door is about 2 m tall.

Frequently asked questions

How many meters are in one micrometer?

There are 0.000001 meters in one micrometer, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert micrometers to meters?

Multiply the number of micrometers by 0.000001. For example, 10 µm × 0.000001 = 0.00001 m.

How many micrometers are in one meter?

One meter equals 1,000,000 micrometers. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.000001.

What is 10 micrometers in meters?

10 µm = 0.00001 m.

Is this µm to m converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
