Inches and Feet Converter
Quickly convert between inches, feet, centimetres and metres.
The everyday length conversions
Most length conversions in daily life are the same handful — inches to centimetres, feet to metres and back — for furniture, rooms, screens, packages, DIY. This is the quick converter for those common cases, so you can turn a measurement from one system into the other without reaching for a full unit converter or a formula.
Enter a length and see it converted.
The feet-and-inches wrinkle
The one thing that makes imperial length fiddly is that feet and inches are not decimal — twelve inches to a foot — so a measurement like five foot nine has to be handled as feet and inches separately, not as a single number. Metric avoids this entirely, which is why converting to centimetres or metres often makes a measurement easier to work with. For the quick, common jobs of everyday measuring, this handles the twelve-to-one arithmetic and gives you the figure without fuss.
