Convert nanometer to picometer
Please provide values below to convert nanometer [nm] to picometer [pM], or Convert picometer to nanometer.
1 nm = 1000 pM. To convert nanometer to picometer, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pM = 0.001 nm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nm = 1000 pM
- 1 pM = 0.001 nm
- 10 nm = 10000 pM
- 100 nm = 100000 pM
How to Convert Nanometer to Picometer
1 nm = 1000 pM
Example: convert 15 nm to pM:
15 nm = 15 × 1000 pM = 15000 pM

Nanometer
A nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term “nanometer” gained prominence in the late 20th century with the advent of nanotechnology and the development of microscopes capable of observing objects at that scale.
Current Use
The nanometer is commonly used to express dimensions on an atomic and molecular scale. It is used to specify the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation near the visible part of the spectrum and in the field of nanotechnology.
Picometer
A picometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^-12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "pico-" for 10^-12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The picometer is used to measure atomic and subatomic particle dimensions.
