How to convert nanometers to picometers
1 nanometer is equal to 1,000 picometers, and 1 picometer is equal to 0.001 nanometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
picometers = nanometers × 1,000
picometers = nanometers ÷ 0.001Example: convert 15 nm to pm: 15 × 1,000 = 15,000 pm.

About the nanometer
A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. It's used for wavelengths of light (visible light is about 380–750 nm), molecules and chip manufacturing processes.
Symbol: nm · 1 nm = 1 × 10⁻⁹ m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the picometer
A picometer is 10⁻¹² meters. It's used for atomic and ionic radii and bond lengths; a hydrogen atom is about 50 pm across.
