How it works

Pick the units you have and the units you want. The result updates as you type, and a full table underneath shows the same measurement in every other unit at once.

Result = Value × (Factor of source unit ÷ Factor of target unit), in metres

Example: 180 cm is 5 ft 10.9 in, and a 10 km run is 6.21 miles.

Questions people ask

How many centimetres are in an inch?

Exactly 2.54. The inch has been defined against the metre since 1959, so this is a definition rather than a measurement.

How do I convert my height to feet and inches?

Convert to inches first, then divide by 12: the whole number is feet and the remainder is inches. 175 cm is 68.9 in, or 5 ft 8.9 in.

What is a nautical mile?

1,852 metres — roughly one minute of latitude. It is used in shipping and aviation, and is about 15% longer than a land mile.
