This height converter tool allows you to quickly and accurately convert your height from feet and inches (imperial units) to centimeters (metric units). It’s especially useful for comparing height measurements used in different countries.
The imperial system — used mainly in the United States, Canada, and the UK — expresses height in feet (ft) and inches (in). The metric system, used by most other countries, measures height in centimeters (cm).
Conversion formula:
Height (cm) = (Feet × 30.48) + (Inches × 2.54)
Example:
If your height is 5 feet 7 inches, then:
(5 × 30.48) + (7 × 2.54) = 170.18 cm
Conversion factors: 1 foot = 30.48 cm, 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
You can also use this tool in reverse — to convert centimeters back to feet and inches for quick height comparison.
