nanometer to millimeter
Convert nanometer (nm) to millimeter (mm). Use an editable length converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 nm = 0.000001 mm
Conversion formula
One nanometer equals 0.000001 millimeter. Multiply your value in nanometer by this factor to get millimeter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 nanometer:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 mm

About these measurements
Length measures the distance between two points.
The base reference used here is the meter. One nanometer is 1e-9 base units; one millimeter is 0.001 base units.
Important distinctions
International feet and inches are used. Survey feet are not included.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert nm to mm?
Multiply the quantity in nm by 0.000001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the millimeter to nanometer converter.
