Formula
nF = fF × 1e-6
Multiply any value in femtofarads by 1e-6 to obtain the value in nanofarads.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 fF to nF.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 fF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 nF.
Result1.00000e+6 fF = 1 nF

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from fF to nF?
1 fF equals 1e-6 nF. To convert, multiply the value in femtofarads by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 fF to nF?
1 fF = 1e-6 nF. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert nF back to fF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 nF = 1.00000e+6 fF.
When would I need to convert femtofarad to nanofarad?
Capacitance conversions between fF and nF are needed in power-factor-correction sizing, filter design, sensor electronics and motor-starter specification. Microfarads dominate power capacitor and motor-run/start applications; nanofarads and picofarads cover decoupling and RF circuit design.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
