Convert between meters, centimeters, feet, and inches. Free length unit converter for metric and imperial measurements.
This unit converter helps you convert between metric (meters, centimeters) and imperial (feet, inches) length units instantly. It supports six conversion modes: meters to centimeters, centimeters to meters, feet and inches to centimeters, centimeters to feet and inches, meters to feet and inches, and feet and inches to meters. The converter uses precise conversion factors to ensure accurate results and shows both a rounded display value and the exact conversion result. This covers the most common length conversions needed for everyday use, construction, DIY projects, and international measurements.
This converter is useful for anyone who needs to work with measurements in different unit systems. DIY enthusiasts working on home improvement projects, construction professionals dealing with plans in different units, international travelers understanding measurements, students learning unit conversions, and anyone who encounters measurements in a unit system they're not familiar with will find this tool helpful. It's particularly useful in the UK where both metric and imperial units are commonly used depending on the context.
For example, to convert 5 feet 10 inches to centimeters, select "Feet + Inches → Centimeters", enter 5 in the feet field and 10 in the inches field, then click Convert. The result will show approximately 177.8 centimeters. To convert the other way, select "Centimeters → Feet + Inches", enter 180 centimeters, and the result will show 5 feet 10.87 inches. Similarly, 1.75 meters converts to 5 feet 8.9 inches, and 175 centimeters converts to 1.75 meters.
To convert meters to centimeters, multiply by 100. For example, 1.5 meters = 1.5 × 100 = 150 centimeters. Our converter does this automatically - just select "Meters → Centimeters", enter the meters value, and click "Convert".
To convert feet and inches to centimeters, first convert everything to inches (feet × 12 + inches), then multiply by 2.54. For example, 5 feet 10 inches = (5 × 12) + 10 = 70 inches = 70 × 2.54 = 177.8 centimeters. Our converter handles this automatically.
1 meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet. To convert meters to feet, multiply by 3.28084. To convert feet to meters, divide by 3.28084. Our converter uses this precise conversion factor for accurate results.
Since 12 inches equals 1 foot, inches should be between 0 and 11.99. If you have more than 12 inches, convert the extra inches to feet. For example, 13 inches should be entered as 1 foot and 1 inch.

The metric system uses meters and centimeters, where 1 meter equals 100 centimeters. The imperial system uses feet and inches, where 1 foot equals 12 inches. Converting between these systems requires knowing that 1 meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet, or 1 foot equals 30.48 centimeters. Our converter handles these conversions accurately using precise conversion factors.
When converting from feet and inches to metric units, the converter first converts everything to inches (feet × 12 + inches), then converts to centimeters or meters. When converting from metric to feet and inches, it calculates the total in feet and inches, showing feet as a whole number and inches as a decimal or fraction.
This unit converter is useful for many everyday situations. If you're working on a DIY project with measurements in different units, planning a room layout, converting clothing sizes, or working with international measurements, this tool makes it easy to convert between metric and imperial units instantly.
The converter is particularly useful for construction and home improvement projects where you might have plans in one unit system but need to work with materials or tools that use a different system. It's also helpful for understanding measurements in different countries, as the UK uses a mix of metric and imperial units depending on the context.
The converter uses precise conversion factors to ensure accurate results. For display purposes, results are rounded to a reasonable number of decimal places, but the exact value is also shown so you can see the precise conversion. The converter handles both whole numbers and decimals, making it suitable for precise measurements.
When entering feet and inches, remember that inches should be between 0 and 11.99 (since 12 inches equals 1 foot). If you have more than 12 inches, convert the extra inches to feet. For example, 13 inches should be entered as 1 foot and 1 inch. The converter will warn you if you enter invalid values.
