Feet to Centimeters Converter

How to convert feet to centimeters

centimeters = feet × 30.48

1 foot is exactly 0.3048 meter (12 inches). 1 centimeter is one hundredth of a meter (SI prefix centi, 10⁻²).

The factor 30.48 is exact, not a rounded value. Nothing is rounded until you choose how many decimals to show.

Worked example: 5.5 ft

1. Start with the value in feet: 5.5 ft.
2. Multiply by 30.48, because 1 foot = 30.48 centimeters: 5.5 × 30.48 = 167.64 cm.
