femtofarad to nanofarad
Convert femtofarad (fF) to nanofarad (nF). Use an editable capacitance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 fF = 0.000001 nF
Conversion formula
One femtofarad equals 0.000001 nanofarad. Multiply your value in femtofarad by this factor to get nanofarad. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 femtofarad:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 nF

About these measurements
Capacitance relates stored charge to potential difference.
The base reference used here is the farad. One femtofarad is 1e-15 base units; one nanofarad is 1e-9 base units.
Important distinctions
Common component values use microfarads, nanofarads, and picofarads.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert fF to nF?
Multiply the quantity in fF by 0.000001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the nanofarad to femtofarad converter.
