Feet to Meters Converter: Your Quick Conversion Buddy

The formula

1 foot equals exactly 0.3048 meters — this is the internationally defined conversion factor, not a rounded approximation. The calculator multiplies your input by 0.3048: a 6-foot person converts to 6 × 0.3048 = 1.8288 meters, displayed rounded to 1.83 m.

Common reference points

A 5-foot person is 1.52 m. A standard doorway height of 6.67 ft (80 inches) is about 2.03 m. A 100-foot football field measures 30.48 m. Because the factor is exact, these conversions stay accurate at any scale — from room dimensions to survey distances.

Why feet-to-meters conversions matter

Feet are still standard in US construction, real estate listings, and aviation altitude; meters are standard almost everywhere else and in all scientific work. Mixing them up in a spec sheet or blueprint — treating a "6 ft" measurement as 6 m, for example — is a real source of costly errors, which is the usual reason someone needs this conversion in the first place.
