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 = 1000 pF
1 pF = 0.001 nF
To convert nanofarad to picofarad, multiply by 1000.
To convert picofarad to nanofarad, multiply by 0.001.
Example: convert 10 nF to pF
10 × 1000 = 10000 pF
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Picofarad (pF)
The picofarad (pF) equals 10⁻¹² farad — used for small ceramic capacitors in RF, timing, and high-frequency circuits.
Picofarads label ceramic caps in oscillators, RF matching networks, and stray-capacitance calculations.
Frequently asked questions
How many picofarads are in one nanofarad?
One nanofarad equals 1,000 picofarads. Multiply your nanofarads value by 1,000 to convert to picofarads.
What is the conversion formula?
pF = nF × 1,000The reverse is
nF = pF × 0.001, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Nanofarad to Picofarad converter private?
