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.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 pF = 0.001 nF
1 nF = 1000 pF
To convert picofarad to nanofarad, multiply by 0.001.
To convert nanofarad to picofarad, multiply by 1000.
Example: convert 10 pF to nF
10 × 0.001 = 0.01 nF
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How many nanofarads are in one picofarad?
One picofarad equals 0.001 nanofarads. Multiply your picofarads value by 0.001 to convert to nanofarads.
What is the conversion formula?
nF = pF × 0.001The reverse is
pF = nF × 1,000, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Picofarad to Nanofarad converter private?
