How to Convert Meters to Micrometers
Convert meters to micrometers with this simple formula:
Converting a meter length measurement to a micrometer measurement involves multiplying the length by the conversion ratio to find the result. One meter is equal to 1,000,000 micrometers, so to convert simply multiply by 1,000,000.
Meters and micrometers are both units used to measure length. Learn more about length and find more length measurement conversion calculators. Meters are a metric measurement and can be abbreviated as m, for example 1 m. Micrometers are a metric measurement and can be abbreviated as µm, for example 1 µm.

A human hair is 40-50 micrometers thick or 0.000001 meters, making this a very small unit of measure. The micrometer is often referred to as a micron and internationally it is spelled micrometre.
The meter is the primary unit of length in the metric system. It's equal to 100 centimeters or 39.37 inches. Internationally it is actually spelled metre. It was first defined 1793 as 1/10,000,000 the length from the equator to the North Pole. The current definition of a meter, adopted in 1983, is the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds and was adopted to in 1983.
We recommend using a ruler or tape measure for measuring length, which can be found at a local retailer or home center. Rulers are available in imperial, metric, or combination with both values, so make sure you get the correct type for your needs. If you need a ruler you can also download and print our free printable rulers which include both imperial and metric measurements.
