Formula
Formula
fF = pF × 1000
Multiply any value in picofarads by 1000 to obtain the value in femtofarads.
Worked example
Convert 1 pF to fF.
- 01Start with 1 pF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 fF.
Result1 pF = 1000 fF

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