WGS 84 → UTM

Latitude and longitude to UTM converter

Convert latitude and longitude to UTM individually or in batches. Use automatic or selected zones and see supported coverage and coordinate-order options.

Batch coordinate converter

Enter one WGS 84 coordinate per line as latitude, longitude.

Input example: 51.5072, -0.1276

0 of 100 coordinates

Automatic uses each row’s longitude.

Results use: easting, northing | zone=[zone], hemisphere=[hemisphere]

Output example: 699331, 5710142 | zone=30, hemisphere=north

Numeric coordinates are rounded for display: decimal latitude/longitude to up to 6 decimal places, metre-based coordinates to up to 3, DMS seconds to up to 2, and DDM minutes to up to 4.

About this conversion

Convert WGS 84 latitude and longitude to UTM eastings and northings in one of 60 longitudinal zones.

Frequently asked questions

What input is accepted?

By default, enter WGS 84 latitude first and longitude second in decimal degrees. Select Reverse coordinate order to enter longitude first. Latitude must be from −90 to 90 and longitude from −180 to 180.

What output will I receive?

The result includes zone, hemisphere, easting and northing. Leave UTM zone set to Automatic, or choose one for an intentional cross-zone workflow.

Which axes and units are used?

WGS 84 input defaults to latitude then longitude in degrees. UTM output uses easting then northing in metres, together with zone and hemisphere.

How are precision and datum handled?

Projection does not improve source accuracy. Selecting a non-default target zone is useful for intentional cross-zone work but changes the resulting easting and northing.

Where can I use this coordinate system?

UTM covers latitudes from 80° south through 84° north. Use UPS nearer the poles.

What should I check?

  • Check that the selected latitude/longitude order matches each input row.
  • Leave the target zone automatic unless a specific cross-zone workflow requires an override.
  • Use UPS instead for positions beyond UTM's polar coverage.

How is the target UTM zone selected?

Automatic selects the appropriate zone for each row. Choose a zone only for intentional cross-zone work.

Can a UTM pair identify a point without its zone?

No. Zone and hemisphere are essential parts of the coordinate.
