UTM → WGS 84

UTM to latitude and longitude converter

Convert UTM coordinates to latitude and longitude individually or in batches, with zone, hemisphere, coverage and coordinate-order guidance.

Batch coordinate converter

Enter one UTM coordinate per line as easting, northing | zone=[zone], hemisphere=[hemisphere]

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

0 of 100 coordinates

Results use: latitude, longitude order.

Output example: 51.5072, -0.1276

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 UTM eastings and northings from a specified zone and hemisphere to latitude and longitude.

Frequently asked questions

What input is accepted?

Enter easting then northing in metres, followed after the pipe by zone=1–60 and hemisphere=north or hemisphere=south. A numeric pair without both parameters is ambiguous.

What output will I receive?

By default, results show WGS 84 latitude first and longitude second in decimal degrees. Select Reverse coordinate order to show longitude first. Displayed decimal places do not add accuracy to the source.

Which axes and units are used?

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

How are precision and datum handled?

Projection does not improve source accuracy. An incorrect source zone or hemisphere can produce a plausible coordinate in the wrong location.

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?

  • Include both zone and hemisphere after the pipe on every input row.
  • Check that easting appears before northing and that the source zone is correct.
  • Use UPS input for coordinates from the polar caps.

How do I specify the UTM zone and hemisphere?

Add them after the coordinate using a pipe, for example: easting, northing | zone=30, hemisphere=north.

Can a UTM pair identify a point without its zone?

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