How to use the Length Converter
- 01
Enter a numeric value without a comma separator or unit suffix, then choose the source and destination units.
- 02
Read the main result and equivalent-unit table. Choose 3, 6, 9, or 12 significant digits for display; calculation constants are not rounded to match the display.
- 03
Use the combine feet and inches panel for the practical calculation. Restore its example independently from the converter.
- 04
Copy the conversion or task results, or download the displayed conversion table as a CSV. Clear removes the converter value.
Examples
A height in two parts
5 feet 8 inches is 68 inches, or 172.72 centimeters. Use the feet-and-inches panel so 5.8 feet is not mistaken for 5 feet 8 inches.
Which foot does this use?
The international foot is exactly 0.3048 meter, and an inch is exactly 0.0254 meter. The mile here is 5,280 international feet. A nautical mile is 1,852 meters. Historic survey measurements may use a different foot; check the original survey before converting coordinates.
Reading decimal measurements
A decimal foot is a fraction of a whole foot: 0.5 foot is 6 inches. The mixed-unit panel treats feet as a whole number and inches as the remaining part. It does not round to carpentry fractions or account for saw kerf.
Precision and accepted input
Use a decimal point or scientific notation such as 1e3. Blank values, unit suffixes, separators, and nonfinite numbers are rejected. Input magnitudes above 1e100 or nonzero magnitudes below 1e-100 are outside the supported range. The table rounds only for presentation, so 12 displayed digits should not be interpreted as 12 digits of measurement accuracy. Binary floating-point calculations can differ from exact decimal arithmetic in the final digits.
What to know
- No historical survey-foot, astronomical-distance, or fraction-of-an-inch rounding modes.
Common questions
Is a UK foot different from a US foot?
Modern everyday US and UK measurements use the same international foot. The retired US survey foot is a separate historic unit and is excluded here.
Can I type fractions?
Use a decimal such as 0.125 for one eighth, or scientific notation such as 1e3. Slash fractions, unit text, and comma separators are rejected.
