How to convert nanofarads to microfarads
µF = nF × 0.001Multiply the value in nanofarads by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A nanofarad is smaller than a microfarad: it takes 1,000 nanofarads to make one microfarad.

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).
Microfarad (µF)
The microfarad (µF) is a unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI). One microfarad equals 0.000001 farads (F).
Frequently asked questions
How many microfarads are in one nanofarad?
There are 0.001 microfarads in one nanofarad, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert nanofarads to microfarads?
Multiply the number of nanofarads by 0.001. For example, 10 nF × 0.001 = 0.01 µF.
How many nanofarads are in one microfarad?
One microfarad equals 1,000 nanofarads. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.
What is 10 nanofarads in microfarads?
10 nF = 0.01 µF.
Is this nF to µF 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.
