GeV to MeV Converter

Convert gigaelectronvolt to megaelectronvolt instantly. 1 GeV = 1000 MeV, worked steps and a full reference table.

Formula
MeV = GeV × 1000

How to use it

  • Type the value in gigaelectronvolt — the result updates as you type.
  • Use Swap to flip the direction, or change either dropdown to convert between any two units.
  • Click the result to copy it. The URL updates too, so you can bookmark or share the exact conversion.

Examples

1 GeV1000 MeV
5 GeV5000 MeV
10 GeV10000 MeV
100 GeV100000 MeV

One gigaelectronvolt equals 1000 megaelectronvolts (MeV). To convert gigaelectronvolts to megaelectronvolts, multiply by 1000; to go back the other way, multiply by 0.001 instead.

The converter above does it as you type and shows the working underneath, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take the number on trust.

What gigaelectronvolts and megaelectronvolts actually measure

Gigaelectronvolt (GeV) — A gigaelectron-volt is a billion electron-volts. Particle accelerators and high-energy physics.

Megaelectronvolt (MeV) — A megaelectron-volt is a million electron-volts. Nuclear physics and radiation therapy.

How to convert gigaelectronvolts to megaelectronvolts by hand

Multiply the number of gigaelectronvolts by 1000.

For example, 25 GeV × 1000 = 25000 MeV.

Going the other way, divide by 1000 — or multiply by 0.001, which is the same thing and easier to do in your head.

Everything runs in your browser

There is no server involved in the calculation. The numbers you type never leave your device, nothing is logged, and the page keeps working with no connection once it has loaded. That is not a marketing line — it is simply how the tool is built, because a calculation like this has no reason to touch a network.

Questions people ask

How many MeV are in 1 GeV?

1 GeV equals exactly 1000 MeV. Multiply any value in gigaelectronvolt by 1000 to get megaelectronvolt.

Is anything uploaded to a server?

No. The whole calculation happens in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, and the page keeps working offline once loaded.

Runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, logged or shared.
