Picofarads to Farads Converter
1 picofarad = 1e-12 farads
1 picofarad equals 1e-12 farads
How to convert picofarads to farads
Capacitance is charge stored per potential difference: 1 F = 1 C/V. The microfarad, nanofarad and picofarad differ by factors of 1000; these unit changes preserve the component’s stated tolerance.
F = pF × 1e-12One picofarad is 1e-12 farads, so a single multiplication converts any value.
1e-11 F = 10 × 1e-12Picofarads to farads conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
