Type a value, pick the units — every conversion updates live.

How it works

Every unit is defined in meters (1 inch = 0.0254 m exactly, 1 foot = 0.3048 m, 1 mile = 1609.344 m). Converting means dividing out the source unit and multiplying into each target — no lookup tables, no rounding drift.

Frequently asked questions

How many centimeters in an inch?

Exactly 2.54 cm per inch — this is an international definition, not a measurement.

How many feet in a meter?

3.28084 feet. A quick estimate: a meter is about 3 ft 3 in.

Why do the US and UK still use inches and feet?

Customary units persist in construction and everyday life in the US, while science, medicine and most of the world use metric. Converters like this bridge the two.
