Batch convert — one value per line

How it works

Metres = feet × 0.3048 (because 1 foot = 0.3048 m exactly); for feet and inches: metres = (feet × 12 + inches) × 0.0254

Feet and inches to metres: common heights and lengths

Feet and inches	Total inches	Metres
4 ft 0 in	48 in	1.2192 m
4 ft 6 in	54 in	1.3716 m
5 ft 0 in	60 in	1.5240 m
5 ft 6 in	66 in	1.6764 m
5 ft 9 in	69 in	1.7526 m
6 ft 0 in	72 in	1.8288 m
6 ft 6 in	78 in	1.9812 m
10 ft 0 in	120 in	3.0480 m

Feet to metres is a multiplication by the exact definition: metres = feet × 0.3048. Ten feet is 3.048 m, and 100 feet is 30.48 m. This page also accepts the form people actually have — a height or length given as feet plus inches — by first combining it into inches (feet × 12 + inches) and then using the inch definition, 0.0254 m, which is the same factor chain: 12 × 0.0254 = 0.3048.

Heights are the most common job: 5 ft 9 in is 69 inches, and 69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526 m. The table collects the height range people convert most, alongside longer lengths. If your starting figure is in centimetres rather than feet, the Centimeters to Feet and Inches page works from the metric side.

Batch mode multiplies a pasted list by the same factor, which is what an imperial dimension list from a plan or a product catalogue needs. And as with every conversion on Kwikfig, round only the final display — a height of 5 ft 11 in is 71 × 0.0254 = 1.8034 m, not the 1.80 m you would get by rounding the feet figure first.

Worked examples

A height: 5 ft 9 in

Input: 5 ft 9 in to metres.
Working: Total inches: 5 × 12 + 9 = 69. Then 69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526.
Result: 5 ft 9 in = 1.75 m

A length in whole feet

Input: 100 feet to metres.
Working: 100 × 0.3048 = 30.48.
Result: 100 feet = 30.48 m

A taller height: 6 ft 2 in

Input: 6 ft 2 in to metres.
Working: Total inches: 6 × 12 + 2 = 74. Then 74 × 0.0254 = 1.8796.
Result: 6 ft 2 in = 1.88 m

Frequently asked questions

How many metres are in a foot?

Exactly 0.3048, by international definition. That makes the conversion a clean multiplication with no estimation involved: feet × 0.3048 = metres, and metres ÷ 0.3048 takes you back to feet.

How do I convert 5 feet 11 inches to metres?

Combine first, then convert: 5 × 12 + 11 = 71 inches, and 71 × 0.0254 = 1.8034 m. Converting the feet and inches separately and adding rounded results gives a slightly different figure, which is why this page takes the combined input directly.

Why do some converters give 1.75 m and others 1.753 m for 5 ft 9 in?

Rounding, not disagreement. The exact product is 69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526 m, which displays as 1.75 m at two decimal places and 1.753 m at three. All of them used the same factor; they just chose different display precision.

Can I convert a list of feet measurements at once?

Yes — batch mode multiplies every pasted line by 0.3048. Paste the lengths from an imperial plan or a set of product dimensions and each one comes back in metres, which is faster and safer than converting them one widget answer at a time.

Is a metre longer or shorter than 3 feet?

Longer. Three feet is 3 × 0.3048 = 0.9144 m (that length is exactly one yard), while a full metre is 1 ÷ 0.3048 = 3.2808 feet. So a metre is about 9.4% longer than a yard — close enough to confuse at a glance, different enough to matter in a measurement.
