1 kV	1000 V
5 kV	5000 V
10 kV	10000 V
100 kV	100000 V

One kilovolt equals 1000 volts (V). To convert kilovolts to volts, 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 kilovolts and volts actually measure

Kilovolt (kV) — A kilovolt is a thousand volts. Distribution networks, X-ray tubes and ignition systems.

Volt (V) — The volt is the SI unit of potential difference — one joule per coulomb. Batteries, mains supply and virtually all electronics.

How to convert kilovolts to volts by hand

Multiply the number of kilovolts by 1000.

For example, 25 kV × 1000 = 25000 V.

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.
