Convert picofarads to farads and farads to picofarads instantly. Bidirectional capacitance converter with formula and common values.
To convert picofarads to farads, divide by 1,000,000,000,000 (or multiply by 10⁻¹²). This conversion is essential when using capacitance values in equations that require SI base units.
| Picofarads (pF) | Farads (F) |
|---|---|
| 5 | 5e-12 |
| 22 | 2.2e-11 |
| 47 | 4.7e-11 |
| 100 | 1e-10 |
| 470 | 4.7e-10 |
| 1,000 | 1e-9 |
| 8,200 | 8.2e-9 |

Divide the picofarad value by 1,000,000,000,000 (or multiply by 10⁻¹²). For example, 8,200 pF = 8.2e-9 F.
One nanofarad equals 1,000 picofarads. So 4,700 pF = 4.7 nF = 0.0047 µF.
At radio frequencies, the small capacitance values needed for tuning and filtering are naturally expressed in picofarads, avoiding unwieldy decimal fractions of microfarads.
Small ceramic capacitors often print the value directly (e.g., "22" means 22 pF) or use a three-digit code where values under 100 are in pF.
