About this tool

Convert any mass between kg, g, mg, µg, ng and pg. The table shows every unit at once, so you can check a value against a label, certificate or protocol that uses a different prefix.

How to use it

  1. Enter the mass.
  2. Choose its unit.
  3. Read or copy the value in any other unit.

Formula f(x)

Each step between adjacent prefixes is a factor of 1000:

1 g = 1000 mg = 1 000 000 µg and 1 mg = 1000 µg = 1 000 000 ng.

Worked example check your setup

250 µg ÷ 1000 = 0.25 mg. 0.25 mg ÷ 1000 = 0.00025 g (2.5 × 10−4 g).
