Frequently asked questions

What is the formula to convert meters to feet?

Divide the length in meters by 0.3048, which is the same as multiplying by about 3.28084. So feet equals meters times 3.28084, and 5 meters works out to roughly 16.4042 feet.

How do I convert my height from meters to feet?

Multiply your height in meters by 3.28084. A height of 1.8 meters is about 5.905512 feet, and 1.75 meters is about 5.741470 feet. See the next question to turn that decimal into feet and inches.

How do I express the result in feet and inches?

Take the whole number as the feet, then multiply the leftover decimal by 12 to get inches. For example 5.905512 feet is 5 feet plus 0.905512 times 12, which is about 5 feet 11 inches.

How do I convert feet back to meters?

Type your value into the Feet (ft) box on the right and the Meters (m) box updates automatically. Under the hood it multiplies feet by 0.3048, so 10 feet is exactly 3.048 meters.

Is this conversion exact?

The definition is exact, since one international foot is exactly 0.3048 meters. The displayed number is rounded to six decimal places for readability, but the underlying division is precise.

Does it use the international foot or the US survey foot?

It uses the international foot of 0.3048 meters, which is the standard for almost all everyday and engineering use. The US survey foot is a hair longer at about 0.304801 meters and only matters for large-scale land surveying.

How many decimal places does it show?

Results are rounded to six decimal places, which is far more than enough for construction, sports or travel. Trailing zeros are trimmed, so a clean value like 3.048 is not padded out.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so the lengths you enter never leave your device and nothing is saved on a server.
