Height Converter

Convert height between cm and feet/inches

Height is measured in centimetres in most of the world and in feet and inches in the United States and United Kingdom, so converting between them comes up often, on forms, in fitness and sports, and when comparing figures internationally. This converter works in both directions: enter a height in centimetres to get feet and inches, or enter feet and inches to get centimetres. It also shows metres and total inches for convenience.

The conversion uses the exact factor of 2.54 centimetres per inch, so results are precise.

Accurate height conversions

A person who is 180 centimetres tall is just under five feet eleven inches, a conversion that is easy to get slightly wrong by hand because a foot is twelve inches, not ten. Getting it right matters for medical forms, visa and passport applications, and dating or fitness profiles. The converter removes the arithmetic and gives a clean result.

Feet and inches are shown with the inches to two decimals so you can round to the nearest practical value. All conversion happens locally in your browser.
