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

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