femtofarad to picofarad

Convert femtofarad (fF) to picofarad (pF). Use an editable capacitance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.

0.001

1 fF = 0.001 pF

Calculated in your browser

Conversion formula

pF = fF × 0.001

One femtofarad equals 0.001 picofarad. Multiply your value in femtofarad by this factor to get picofarad. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.

Worked example

To convert 5 femtofarad:
5 × 0.001 = 0.005 pF

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 picofarad is 1e-12 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 pF?

Multiply the quantity in fF by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.

Can I reverse the conversion?

Yes. Use the swap button or open the picofarad to femtofarad converter.
