How to Convert Picofarads to Nanofarads
To convert a measurement in picofarads to a measurement in nanofarads, divide the capacitance by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 picofarads/nanofarad.
Since one nanofarad is equal to 1,000 picofarads, you can use this simple formula to convert:
nanofarads = picofarads ÷ 1,000
The capacitance in nanofarads is equal to the capacitance in picofarads divided by 1,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5,000 picofarads to nanofarads using the formula above.
nanofarads = (5,000 pF ÷ 1,000) = 5 nF
Picofarads and nanofarads are both units used to measure capacitance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Picofarad?
The picofarad is 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a farad, which is the capacitance of a capacitor with a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by one coulomb of electricity.
The picofarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "pico" is the prefix for 10-12. Picofarads can be abbreviated as pF; for example, 1 picofarad can be written as 1 pF.

What Is a Nanofarad?
The nanofarad is 1/1,000,000,000 of a farad, which is the capacitance of a capacitor with a potential difference of one volt when it is charged by one coulomb of electricity.
The nanofarad is a multiple of the farad, which is the SI derived unit for capacitance. In the metric system, "nano" is the prefix for billionths, or 10-9. Nanofarads can be abbreviated as nF; for example, 1 nanofarad can be written as 1 nF.
