How to use this tool
- Enter the length as a number. Decimals and thousands separators are fine.
- Choose the unit you have on the left and the unit you want on the right.
- Read the result and the formula; press Copy to put the value on your clipboard.
- Use the table underneath to compare the same length in every other unit at once.
Good to know
- Conversions use the international definitions: 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 yd = 0.9144 m, 1 mi = 1,609.344 m.
- Displayed values are rounded to six decimal places; values below 0.01 are shown with six significant figures.
Frequently asked questions
How many centimeters are in an inch?
One inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, a value fixed by international agreement in 1959, so you can multiply without rounding. A foot is 12 inches or 30.48 cm, and a yard is 3 feet or 91.44 cm. To go the other way, divide centimeters by 2.54: 170 cm ÷ 2.54 is about 66.93 inches.
How do I convert feet to meters?
Multiply feet by 0.3048 to get meters: 6 ft × 0.3048 = 1.8288 m. To convert meters to feet, divide by 0.3048 or multiply by roughly 3.28084. For a height given in feet and inches, turn it into inches first: 5 ft 10 in is 70 in, which is 177.8 cm or 1.778 m.
How many kilometers are in a mile?
One mile is exactly 1.609344 kilometers, because a mile is 1,760 yards and a yard is 0.9144 meters. One kilometer is therefore about 0.621371 miles. A marathon of 42.195 km is about 26.22 miles, and a 100 km/h speed limit is about 62 mph.
How are the results rounded?
Every conversion goes through meters in double-precision arithmetic and is then rounded to six decimal places with trailing zeros removed. Very small results, such as a millimeter expressed in miles, are shown with six significant figures instead so they never read as zero. For more precision, apply the factor from the formula line yourself.
Which definitions of the units are used?
The international definitions: 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 yd = 0.9144 m and 1 mi = 1,609.344 m. The slightly different US survey foot, which was retired in 2023, is not used; the international values are the standard for everyday, engineering and scientific work.
