Millifarad to Nanofarad (mF to nF)
Convert mF to nF — Capacitance converter
One millifarad equals 1000000 nF, so to convert millifarads to nanofarads you multiply the value by 1000000. A millifarad is larger than a nanofarad — going the other way, 1 nF = 0.000001 mF. For example, 10 mF = 10000000 nF and 50 mF = 50000000 nF.
1 mF = 1000000 nF
Millifarad to Nanofarad formula
1 Millifarad = 1000000 nF
Worked examples
- 25 mF = 25000000 nF
- 100 mF = 100000000 nF

Reading capacitor markings
Capacitor values are written three different ways, which is where most conversion mistakes start. Small ceramics carry a three-digit code in picofarads: the first two digits are the value, the third is the number of zeros. A capacitor marked 104 is 10 followed by four zeros — 100,000 pF, which is 100 nF, which is 0.1 µF. All three describe the same part.
On older parts and in a lot of American documentation you will see "mfd" or "MFD". That means microfarad, not millifarad — it predates the µ symbol being easy to print. Treating it as millifarads overstates the value by a factor of 1,000.
The scale is strictly decimal: 1 F = 1,000 mF = 1,000,000 µF = 10⁹ nF = 10¹² pF. On this page, 1 mF = 1000000 nF.
