How to use it
- Type the value in the angstroms box.
- Read the result in nanometers as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
nm = Å × 0.1
Multiply the value in angstroms by 0.1 to get nanometers.
Example
To convert 25 Å to nanometers: 25 × 0.1 = 2.5 nm.

About the units
- Angstrom
- An angstrom is exactly 10^-10 meter, one tenth of a nanometer, used for atomic sizes and bond lengths.
- Nanometer
- A nanometer is one billionth of a meter, used for light wavelengths and chip feature sizes.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many nanometers are in one angstrom?
1 Å = 0.1 nm exactly.
How do I convert angstroms to nanometers?
Use nm = Å × 0.1. For example, 25 Å = 2.5 nm.
How many angstroms are in one nanometer?
1 nm = 10 Å.
Are the inch, foot and mile factors exact or rounded?
They are exact by definition. Since the 1959 agreement one inch is exactly 2.54 cm, one foot 0.3048 m and one mile 1609.344 m.
What is the difference between a mile and a nautical mile?
A statute mile is 1609.344 meters and is used on roads. A nautical mile is 1852 meters and is used at sea and in aviation.
