Convert micrometer to point
Please provide values below to convert micrometer [µm] to point [point], or Convert point to micrometer.
1 µm = 0.00283464549073 point. To convert micrometer to point, multiply the value by 0.00283464549073; to go the other way, divide by it (1 point = 352.7778 µm). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 µm = 0.00283464549073 point
- 1 point = 352.7778 µm
- 10 µm = 0.0283464549073 point
- 100 µm = 0.283464549073 point
How to Convert Micrometer to Point
1 µm = 0.00283464549073099 point
Example: convert 15 µm to point:
15 µm = 15 × 0.00283464549073099 point = 0.0425196823609649 point

Micrometer
A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length equal to one-millionth of a meter.
History/Origin
The term "micron" and the symbol µ were officially declared obsolete by the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in 1967, and "micrometer" became the official term.
Current Use
The micrometer is a common unit for measuring the wavelength of infrared radiation, as well as the size of biological cells and bacteria. It is also widely used in technology and engineering.
Point
A point is a unit of typographical measurement. In the context of printing, it is approximately 1/72 of an inch.
History/Origin
The point system of typography was developed in the 18th century. It provides a standardized way to measure font sizes and leading.
Current Use
The point is the standard unit for measuring font sizes in both print and digital media.
