Millimeters to micrometers

1 millimeter in micrometers
1 mm = 1,000 µm
µm = mm × 1,000

To convert millimeters to micrometers, multiply by 1,000. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

Millimeters to micrometers table

Common millimeter values converted to micrometers.
Millimeters Micrometers
1 mm 1,000
2 mm 2,000
3 mm 3,000
4 mm 4,000
5 mm 5,000
10 mm 10,000

20 mm 20,000
25 mm 25,000
30 mm 30,000
40 mm 40,000
50 mm 50,000
75 mm 75,000
100 mm 100,000
250 mm 250,000
500 mm 500,000

How the conversion works

The relationship is µm = mm × 1,000. Both units measure length, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

Common questions

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