Length conversions

GOOD TO KNOW

For heights, rooms and furniture.

Use this conversion for body height, room dimensions, furniture and anything measured in US or UK listings. One foot is exactly 30.48 centimetres, so a quick check is to multiply by 30 and add a little. For heights written as feet and inches, convert the inches separately with the inches to cm page and add the two results.

Calculation details & precision

Length conversions use metres as the base unit. The international inch is exactly 0.0254 m; a foot is 12 inches, an international mile is 1,609.344 m, and an international nautical mile is 1,852 m.

Automatic displays up to 12 significant digits. Choose 2, 4 or 6 decimal places in Precision for a shorter result. Displayed results are rounded; very large or small values use scientific notation.
