Micrometers to millimeters

1 micrometer in millimeters
1 µm = 0.001 mm
mm = µm × 0.001

To convert micrometers to millimeters, multiply by 0.001. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

Micrometers to millimeters table

Common micrometer values converted to millimeters.
Micrometers Millimeters
1 µm 0.001
2 µm 0.002
3 µm 0.003
4 µm 0.004
5 µm 0.005
10 µm 0.01
15 µm 0.015
20 µm 0.02
25 µm 0.025
30 µm 0.03
40 µm 0.04
50 µm 0.05
75 µm 0.075
100 µm 0.1
250 µm 0.25

1,000 µm 1

How the conversion works

The relationship is mm = µm × 0.001. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

How many millimeters are in one micrometer?
One micrometer equals 0.001 millimeters. mm = µm × 0.001.
How do you convert micrometers to millimeters?
Use mm = µm × 0.001. So 10 µm is 0.01 mm.
How many micrometers are in one millimeter?
One millimeter equals 1,000 micrometers, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
