Examples
| 1 kV | 0.001 MV |
| 5 kV | 0.005 MV |
| 10 kV | 0.01 MV |
| 100 kV | 0.1 MV |
One kilovolt equals 0.001 megavolts (MV). To convert kilovolts to megavolts, multiply by 0.001; to go back the other way, multiply by 1000 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 kilovolts and megavolts actually measure
Kilovolt (kV) — A kilovolt is a thousand volts. Distribution networks, X-ray tubes and ignition systems.
Megavolt (MV) — A megavolt is a million volts. High-voltage transmission and particle accelerators.

How to convert kilovolts to megavolts by hand
Multiply the number of kilovolts by 0.001.
For example, 25 kV × 0.001 = 0.025 MV.
Going the other way, divide by 0.001 — or multiply by 1000, 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.
