To convert picometers to yards, multiply by 1.093613298e-12. That factor is the whole relationship: both units measure length, so the conversion is a proportion with no offset and no substance-specific constant.
Three feet, exactly 0.9144 metres, best known from American football and fabric retail. One trillionth of a metre, the SI unit crystallographers use where chemists still reach for angstroms.
The mil and the millimetre are not the same thing and are out by a factor of about forty. A mil is one thousandth of an inch — 0.0254 mm — and a spec sheet that quotes film thickness in mils means the small unit. British drawings write the same size as "thou". Below the calculator there is a step table for the values people look up most, and a second table putting real length figures into yards so the number you get has something to be compared against.

Worked examples
A larger figure: 100 pm in yards
A larger figure comes to about 100 pm. Multiplying by the factor: 100 × 1.09361e-12 = 1.09361e-10 yd. Dividing the answer back by 1.09361e-12 returns the figure you started with, which is the quickest way to check you have the factor the right way up.
A round figure: 1 pm in yards
A round figure comes to about 1 pm. Multiplying by the factor: 1 × 1.09361e-12 = 1.09361e-12 yd. Dividing the answer back by 1.09361e-12 returns the figure you started with, which is the quickest way to check you have the factor the right way up.

Frequently asked questions
How many yards are in one picometer?
Exactly 1.09361329834e-12. Every figure on this page is that one number multiplied by your input, so the only rounding is at the display step.
What is the formula to convert picometers to yards?
yards = picometers × 1.09361329834e-12. Reversed, picometers = yards ÷ 1.09361329834e-12, which is the same as multiplying by 914,400,000,000.
Which is the bigger unit, the picometer or the yard?
The yard. One picometer is only 1.09361e-12 of a yard, so it takes 9.144e+11 picometers to make one yard.
What does this quantity actually measure?
Both units measure length. That is why a single factor is enough: there is no temperature offset and no material property involved, unlike conversions that cross between different quantities.
What is a picometer?
One trillionth of a metre, the SI unit crystallographers use where chemists still reach for angstroms.
What is a yard?
Three feet, exactly 0.9144 metres, best known from American football and fabric retail.
Why does my answer differ from another converter?
Almost always because the other tool rounded the factor before multiplying. This page keeps full double precision through the calculation and rounds only for display, and it prints the factor it used so you can see where any difference came from.
