How to convert nanofarads to farads
F = nF × 1×10⁻⁹Multiply the value in nanofarads by 1×10⁻⁹. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000,000,000 (or divide by 1×10⁻⁹).
A nanofarad is smaller than a farad: it takes 1,000,000,000 nanofarads to make one farad.

About the units
Nanofarad (nF)
The nanofarad (nF) is a unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI). One nanofarad equals 1×10⁻⁹ farads (F).
Farad (F)
One coulomb per volt.
Frequently asked questions
How many farads are in one nanofarad?
There are 1×10⁻⁹ farads in one nanofarad, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert nanofarads to farads?
Multiply the number of nanofarads by 1×10⁻⁹. For example, 10 nF × 1×10⁻⁹ = 1×10⁻⁸ F.
How many nanofarads are in one farad?
One farad equals 1,000,000,000 nanofarads. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1×10⁻⁹.
What is 10 nanofarads in farads?
10 nF = 1×10⁻⁸ F.
Is this nF to F converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
