About Converting Picovolts to Microvolts
Picovolt and Microvolt 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: Picovolt is 1e-12 volt units, and microvolt is 0.000001 volt units.
Formula
microvolts = picovolts × 0.000001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 picovolt equals 1e-12 base units, and 1 microvolt equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct picovolt-to-microvolt factor of 0.000001.
Simple example
1 pV × 0.000001 = 0.000001 uV
1 picovolt = 0.000001 microvolts.
Real-world example
120 pV × 0.000001 = 0.00012 uV
120 picovolts = 0.00012 microvolts.

Reverse conversion: Microvolt to Picovolt
0.000001 uV × 1000000 = 1 pV
0.000001 microvolts = 1 picovolt.
picovolts = microvolts × 1000000

Frequently asked questions
How many microvolts are in 1 picovolt?
1 picovolt equals 0.000001 microvolts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert picovolt to microvolt?
Multiply the picovolt value by 0.000001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert microvolt back to picovolt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 microvolt equals 1,000,000 picovolts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a picovolt?
Picovolt (pV) is a unit of electricity.
What is a microvolt?
Microvolt (uV) is a unit of electricity.
Is the picovolt to microvolt conversion exact?
Yes. Both picovolt and microvolt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000001 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.
