How the formula works
Both nanowatt and picowatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in nanowatts by 1000 to get picowatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a picowatt value by 0.001 to get back to nanowatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Nanowatt (nW)?
A Nanowatt (nW) equals 1e-09 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for nano-scale electrical work.
What is Picowatt (pW)?
A Picowatt (pW) equals 1e-12 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for pico-scale electrical work.
How do I convert nanowatts to picowatts?
Multiply the nanowatt value by 1000 to get the equivalent in picowatts. For example, 5 nW × 1000 = 5000 pW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert picowatts back to nanowatts?
Yes. Divide the picowatt value by 1000, or multiply it by 0.001, to get nanowatts.
