How to convert nanofarads to picofarads
pF = nF × 1,000Multiply the value in nanofarads by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).
A nanofarad is larger than a picofarad: one nanofarad contains 1,000 picofarads.

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).
Picofarad (pF)
The picofarad (pF) is a unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI). One picofarad equals 1×10⁻¹² farads (F).
Frequently asked questions
How many picofarads are in one nanofarad?
There are 1,000 picofarads in one nanofarad, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert nanofarads to picofarads?
Multiply the number of nanofarads by 1,000. For example, 10 nF × 1,000 = 10,000 pF.
How many nanofarads are in one picofarad?
One picofarad equals 0.001 nanofarads. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.
What is 10 nanofarads in picofarads?
10 nF = 10,000 pF.
Is this nF to pF 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.
