Nanofarad to Millifarad (nF to mF)
Convert nF to mF — Capacitance converter
One nanofarad equals 0.000001 mF, so to convert nanofarads to millifarads you multiply the value by 0.000001. A nanofarad is smaller than a millifarad — going the other way, 1 mF = 1000000 nF. For example, 10 nF = 0.00001 mF and 50 nF = 0.00005 mF.
1 nF = 0.000001 mF
Nanofarad to Millifarad formula
1 Nanofarad = 0.000001 mF
Worked examples
- 25 nF = 0.000025 mF
- 100 nF = 0.0001 mF

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 nF = 0.000001 mF.
