Capacitance Converter
Convert capacitance among pF, nF, µF, mF, and F using farads as the reference.
How to use
- Enter capacitance and select the capacitor notation and target prefix among pF, nF, µF, mF, and F.
Capabilities and scope
Rescale capacitor values across common thousand-fold prefixes for circuit work.
How it works
Farad is the reference with pF=10⁻¹² F, nF=10⁻⁹ F, µF=10⁻⁶ F, and mF=10⁻³ F.
Example
100 nF is 0.1 µF or 100,000 pF.
Useful for
- Compare capacitor nF and µF markings
- Normalize schematic values to farads
- Rescale small pF values
Before you use it
- Only capacitance is converted; ESR, tolerance, voltage rating, and frequency behavior are not calculated.

Frequently asked questions
Does it decode capacitor markings such as 104?
No. The current tool accepts a numeric capacitance and selected unit only.
