Lat/Lon to UTM Converter

Enter a latitude/longitude and get the UTM zone, hemisphere, easting and northing instantly — or go the other way, UTM back to decimal degrees. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Accuracy: uses the standard ellipsoidal transverse Mercator formulas (WGS84) — round-trips to sub-millimeter precision. Need MGRS, State Plane, or 180+ other coordinate systems? Try the full Coordinate Converter →
How UTM zones work
1

60 zones, 6° of longitude each

The world is divided into 60 UTM zones numbered 1 (180°W) to 60 (174°E), each spanning 6° of longitude. Enter a latitude/longitude above and the zone is calculated automatically.

2

Hemisphere matters

UTM northing is measured differently north vs. south of the equator — a 10,000,000 m offset is added in the southern hemisphere so northing values are always positive. Always specify N or S along with the zone.

3

Easting/northing only make sense with a zone

A UTM easting/northing pair is meaningless without its zone number and hemisphere — the same easting/northing values point to completely different places in different zones. Always keep all three together.

Common questions
What UTM zone is my location in?+

Enter your latitude/longitude in the "Lat/Lon → UTM" card above — the zone (1–60) and hemisphere (N/S) are calculated automatically along with the easting and northing in meters.

How accurate is this UTM converter?+

It uses the standard ellipsoidal transverse Mercator formulas on the WGS84 datum (the same datum GPS and ArcGIS Online use) — conversions round-trip to sub-millimeter precision. This is the same math used by professional GIS software for WGS84 UTM projections.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?+

No — the conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to GISGP's servers.

Can I convert a whole file of coordinates, not just one point?+

Yes — use GISGP's CRS File Converter to reproject an entire CSV or Excel file of coordinates between WGS84, UTM (any zone), State Plane, and 180+ other coordinate systems at once.

What's the difference between UTM and Web Mercator?+

Both are projected (meters, not degrees) systems, but UTM divides the world into 60 narrow zones for high local accuracy (survey/engineering-grade), while Web Mercator (EPSG:3857, used by ArcGIS Online basemaps and most web maps) is a single global projection optimized for map tiles, with significant area distortion near the poles. Use UTM for measurement, Web Mercator for web mapping display.

Batch-convert coordinates for ArcGIS Online

GISGP imports and exports ArcGIS Online Feature Service data in Excel, CSV, Shapefile, KML and GeoJSON — with coordinate system reprojection built in.
