How to convert microseconds to nanoseconds

To convert microseconds to nanoseconds, multiply by 1000. The relationship is fixed, so the same factor works for any quantity — there is nothing to look up and nothing that changes with temperature, location or context.

ns = µs × 1000

What is a microsecond?

A millionth of a second, the scale of fast electronics.

What is a nanosecond?

A billionth of a second. Light travels about 30 cm in one.

The formula

ns = µs × 1000

Every result on this page comes from this formula. Nothing is rounded until the final display, so figures match a spreadsheet to the cent.

How to use the Microseconds to Nanoseconds

  1. Type the number of microseconds you want to convert.
  2. Read the result in nanoseconds straight away — there is no button to press.
  3. Check the table below for the values that come up most often, or reverse the conversion with the linked nanoseconds to microseconds page.

Microseconds to Nanoseconds — frequently asked questions

How many nanoseconds are in a microsecond?

One microsecond equals 1000 ns. ns = µs × 1000

What is the formula to convert microseconds to nanoseconds?

The formula is ns = µs × 1000. It is an exact definition rather than an approximation, so the conversion never drifts no matter how large the number.

How do I convert nanoseconds back to microseconds?

Divide instead of multiplying: one nanosecond is 0.001 µs. The reverse converter is linked in the related tools list.

Is this conversion exact?

Yes. Both units are defined against the same base unit by international agreement, so the factor is exact — any rounding you see is only in the display, which you can widen by entering more decimal places.

Is this microseconds to nanoseconds free to use?

Yes. Every calculator on the site is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser, so your figures never leave your device.
