About Feet to CM Converter

Convert feet to centimetres, most often for height. One foot is exactly 30.48 cm, so cm = feet × 30.48: 5 ft = 152.4 cm, 5.5 ft = 167.64 cm and 6 ft = 182.88 cm. Heights in India are usually said in feet and inches, such as 5 ft 6 in; the tool takes one unit at a time, so either write the inches as part of a foot (6 in = 0.5 ft) or switch the From unit to Inch and type the total inches.

How to Use

Type the feet

Enter feet in the From box. For whole and half feet that is easy: 5 or 5.5. Quarter feet work too: 5 ft 3 in is 5.25 ft and 5 ft 9 in is 5.75 ft.

For other inches, use Inch

For a height like 5 ft 7 in, change the From unit to Inch and type the total inches: 5 × 12 + 7 = 67, which gives 170.18 cm.

Read the result

The To box shows centimetres, and the table shows metres, millimetres and inches for the same height.

Go from cm to feet

Type a height in cm in the To box to see it in feet, or press Swap units.

Rules & Limitations

Do not type "5 6" or "5'6": spaces are ignored, so "5 6" is read as 56 feet, and symbols are not accepted.
A decimal foot is not feet-and-inches: 5.6 ft is 5 ft 7.2 in, not 5 ft 6 in. Use 5.5 for 5 ft 6 in.
Results from feet are exact, as a foot is exactly 30.48 cm; going from cm to feet the result is shown to 10 significant digits.
