Nanofarad (nF)
The nanofarad (nF) equals 10⁻⁹ farad — a standard mid-range capacitor value in signal and coupling applications.
Nanofarads appear in coupling capacitors, filter networks, and general-purpose SMD capacitor markings.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 nF = 0.001 µF
1 µF = 1000 nF
To convert nanofarad to microfarad, multiply by 0.001.
To convert microfarad to nanofarad, multiply by 1000.
Example: convert 10 nF to µF
10 × 0.001 = 0.01 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 nanofarad?
One nanofarad equals 0.001 microfarads. Multiply your nanofarads value by 0.001 to convert to microfarads.
What is the conversion formula?
µF = nF × 0.001The reverse is
nF = µF × 1,000, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Nanofarad to Microfarad converter private?
