About Converting Femtovolts to Picovolts
Femtovolt and Picovolt both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Femtovolt is 1e-15 volt units, and picovolt is 1e-12 volt units.
Formula
picovolts = femtovolts × 0.001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 femtovolt equals 1e-15 base units, and 1 picovolt equals 1e-12 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct femtovolt-to-picovolt factor of 0.001.
Simple example
1 fV × 0.001 = 0.001 pV
1 femtovolt = 0.001 picovolts.
Real-world example
120 fV × 0.001 = 0.12 pV
120 femtovolts = 0.12 picovolts.

Reverse conversion: Picovolt to Femtovolt
0.001 pV × 1000 = 1 fV
0.001 picovolts = 1 femtovolt.
femtovolts = picovolts × 1000

Frequently asked questions
How many picovolts are in 1 femtovolt?
1 femtovolt equals 0.001 picovolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert femtovolt to picovolt?
Multiply the femtovolt value by 0.001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert picovolt back to femtovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 picovolt equals 1,000 femtovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a femtovolt?
Femtovolt (fV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a picovolt?
Picovolt (pV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the femtovolt to picovolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both femtovolt and picovolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.001 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
