Farad (F)
The farad (F) is the SI unit of capacitance — one coulomb per volt (C/V), the charge stored per volt across a capacitor.
Farads quantify capacitor size in theory; practical capacitors use microfarad, nanofarad, and picofarad.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 F = 1000000 µF
1 µF = 0.000001 F
To convert farad to microfarad, multiply by 1000000.
To convert microfarad to farad, multiply by 0.000001.
Example: convert 10 F to µF
10 × 1000000 = 10000000 µF
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Microfarad (µF)
The microfarad (µF) equals 10⁻⁶ farad — the common unit for electrolytic and film capacitors in power supplies and audio circuits.
Microfarads label bulk capacitors on PCBs, power filters, and timing circuits where µF values dominate.
Frequently asked questions
How many microfarads are in one farad?
One farad equals 1,000,000 microfarads. Multiply your farads value by 1,000,000 to convert to microfarads.
What is the conversion formula?
µF = F × 1,000,000The reverse is
F = µF × 0.000001, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Farad to Microfarad converter private?
