Processing and privacy: The result is calculated inside your browser and your data is not sent to any server.
How to use it
- Type the value in the nanoseconds box.
- Read the result in microseconds as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
µs = ns × 0.001
Multiply the value in nanoseconds by 0.001 to get microseconds.
Example
To convert 25 ns to microseconds: 25 × 0.001 = 0.025 µs.

About the units
- Nanosecond
- One billionth of a second, exactly 10^-9 s. It is used for processor and electronics timing.
- Microsecond
- One millionth of a second, exactly 0.000001 s.
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 microseconds are in one nanosecond?
1 ns = 0.001 µs exactly.
How do I convert nanoseconds to microseconds?
Use µs = ns × 0.001. For example, 25 ns = 0.025 µs.
How many nanoseconds are in one microsecond?
1 µs = 1,000 ns.
How many days are in a month and a year here?
A year is the average Gregorian year of 365.2425 days and a month is 1/12 of that, 30.436875 days. Results are averages, so use a date calculator for the gap between two specific dates.
How is a Hijri year compared with a Gregorian year?
We use the tabular Islamic calendar average of about 354.367 days, so a Hijri year is roughly 11 days shorter than a Gregorian one. The result is approximate because real Hijri months follow the moon sighting.
