0.3048

1 ft = 0.3048 m

Calculation working

  1. Result = input × source factor ÷ target factor
  2. 1 × 0.3048 ÷ 1 = 0.3048 m
  3. Factors refer to the same base quantity. Rounding is applied to the display, not intermediate calculations.

Display: 10 significant digits. More digits do not make the original measurement more accurate.

Using this length converter

Check drawing dimensions, product sizes, travel distances or a measured length without changing the physical distance.

The foot and inch here are the international definitions. Convert the measured dimension first, then apply any tolerance or construction allowance separately.

Check before using the result

  • A length factor cannot convert square feet or cubic feet. Select Area or Volume for those quantities.
  • A value written as 5 ft 6 in must first be combined into one unit: 66 in or 5.5 ft. Do not enter 5.6 ft.

Definitions and method: NIST: unit conversion factors and rounding. Calculations use double-precision arithmetic; the display precision can be adjusted above.
