Feet & Inches to Centimeters

The Feet & Inches to Centimeters converter helps you change values from Feet & Inches into Centimeters quickly and accurately. Whether you are working on school homework, DIY projects, engineering drafts, travel planning, or product specifications, reliable length conversion removes guesswork and unit mistakes.

Length units appear everywhere: clothing sizes, construction plans, map scales, athletics tracks, and scientific measurements. Switching between imperial and metric systems is especially common in international collaboration. This tool uses the standard relationship defined by: CM = (Feet × 30.48) + (Inches × 2.54).

What is the conversion?

Feet & Inches and Centimeters measure distance along a straight line. The conversion factor between them is fixed by international agreement, so the same input always produces the same output (aside from rounding). Enter a value, choose decimal precision, and optionally enable scientific notation for very large or very small numbers.

Example: 5 ft 6 in → 167.64 cm

Formula: CM = (Feet × 30.48) + (Inches × 2.54)

Steps:

1. Total inches = (5 × 12) + 6 = 66 in
2. CM = (5 × 30.48) + (6 × 2.54) = 167.64 cm
