Factor1 fF = 0.001 pF
Converter
fF
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
pF
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
pF = fF × 0.001
Multiply any value in femtofarads by 0.001 to obtain the value in picofarads.
Worked example
Convert 1000 fF to pF.
- 01Start with 1000 fF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 pF.
Result1000 fF = 1 pF

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from fF to pF?
1 fF equals 0.001 pF. To convert, multiply the value in femtofarads by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 fF to pF?
1 fF = 0.001 pF. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert pF back to fF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 pF = 1000 fF.
When would I need to convert femtofarad to picofarad?
Capacitance conversions between fF and pF 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).
