Convert Milliseconds to Microseconds

1 ms = 1000 µs

1 ms = 1000 µs

milliseconds (ms) microseconds (µs)
0.5 500
1 1000
2 2000
5 5000
10 10000
25 25000
50 50000
100 100000
250 250000
500 500000
1000 1000000

To convert milliseconds to microseconds, multiply the value by the conversion factor:

1 ms = 1000 µs

For example: 10 ms = 10000 µs

The Conversion Formula

To convert milliseconds to microseconds, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 ms = 1000 µs. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 ms to microseconds: 25 × 1000 = 25000 µs. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 1000, or equivalently multiply by 0.001.

About milliseconds

The millisecond (ms) is the standard unit for measuring short duration events in computing and electronics. It is imperceptible to the human conscious mind, but critical for technology. A 'ping' of 100ms in a video game feels laggy, while 20ms feels instant. milliseconds are commonly used in Ping/Latency in gaming, Camera shutter speeds, Audio synchronization, and Reaction time testing, Computer clock cycles.

A blink of an eye takes 300-400 milliseconds.

About microseconds

The microsecond (µs) is used in high-frequency trading, telecommunications, and physics. Light travels about 300 meters in a single microsecond. In the world of high-speed electronics, the microsecond is a lifetime. microseconds are commonly used in Flash photography duration, Radar timing, Computer memory access, and Strobe lights, Chemical reactions.

A camera flash might last just a few microseconds.

When Would You Convert milliseconds to microseconds?

Converting between milliseconds and microseconds is one of the most common time conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 ms = 1000 µs) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
