Convert capacitance values between farads and nanofarads, including millifarads, microfarads, and picofarads, in either direction using the input and output unit selectors.

Enter one capacitance and choose its output unit.

Assumptions Assumptions
  • SI decimal prefixes are used: mF = 10-3 F, µF = 10-6 F, nF = 10-9 F, pF = 10-12 F.
  • The calculator performs unit conversion only—no tolerance, voltage rating, or temperature coefficient considerations.
  • The result is displayed separately with up to eight decimal places or scientific notation.
  • Very large or small values may be easier to read using scientific or engineering notation.
When to Use This Calculator
  • Converting capacitor values between datasheets or EDA tools (e.g., µF ↔ nF ↔ pF).
  • Normalizing units for RC time constant or filter calculations.
  • Interpreting component markings expressed in different SI prefixes.
Input Definitions
  • Capacitance — enter a value and select F, mF, µF, nF, or pF as the input unit.
  • Convert to — select nF, pF, µF, mF, or F as the output unit.
  • Conversions — nF = F × 109; F = nF × 10-9; also 1 µF = 1000 nF and 1 nF = 1000 pF.

How do you convert F to nF? Multiply farads by 109 (nF = F × 1,000,000,000).

How do you convert nF to F? Divide nanofarads by 109 (F = nF ÷ 1,000,000,000).

Example Problem

Convert 0.000001 F to nF.

Use the formula: nF = F × 109.

nF = 0.000001 × 109 = 1000 nF
