How the Length Converter works
Enter a length, choose the unit you have and the unit you want. The result updates as you type, and the table under it shows the same length in every unit — handy when you need centimeters, inches and feet at once.
Every unit is defined in meters. Imperial units use the international definitions agreed in 1959: one inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so one foot (12 inches) is exactly 0.3048 m and one mile is exactly 1,609.344 m.

Formula
result = value × ffrom ÷ fto
Where:
- ffrom
- Size of the starting unit in the base unit (1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 in = 0.0254 m)
- fto
- Size of the target unit in the same base unit
Examples
A marathon in miles
42.195 km ÷ 1.609344 = 26.22 mi
100 meters in yards
100 ÷ 0.9144 = 109.36 yd
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a height like 5 ft 9 in?
Turn it into inches first: 5 × 12 + 9 = 69 in. Then convert 69 inches to centimeters: 69 × 2.54 = 175.26 cm.
How many centimeters are in an inch?
Exactly 2.54. It's a definition, not a rounded measurement, so inch-to-centimeter conversions are exact.
What's the difference between a mile and a nautical mile?
A (statute) mile is 1,609.344 m. A nautical mile, used at sea and in aviation, is 1,852 m — about 1.15 miles.
