Convert picogram to femtogram
Please provide values below to convert picogram [pg] to femtogram [fg], or Convert femtogram to picogram.
1 pg = 1000 fg. To convert picogram to femtogram, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 fg = 0.001 pg). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 pg = 1000 fg
- 1 fg = 0.001 pg
- 10 pg = 10000 fg
- 100 pg = 100000 fg
How to Convert Picogram to Femtogram
1 pg = 1000 fg
Example: convert 15 pg to fg:
15 pg = 15 × 1000 fg = 15000 fg

Picogram
A picogram (pg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a gram.
History/Origin
The picogram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure extremely small masses, especially in scientific and laboratory contexts, as a subdivision of the gram in the SI unit system.
Current Use
Picograms are used in scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, and physics to measure very small quantities of substances, including DNA, proteins, and other microscopic materials.
Femtogram
A femtogram (fg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^-15 grams.
History/Origin
The femtogram was introduced as part of the metric system's extension to measure extremely small masses, particularly in scientific fields such as chemistry and biology, during the 20th century as measurement technology advanced.
Current Use
Femtograms are used in scientific research to measure tiny quantities of substances, such as in molecular biology, nanotechnology, and materials science, where precise measurement of very small masses is required.
