FAQ

How many meters is 6 feet?

6 feet is about 1.83 meters.

Should I use this or the Height Converter for a person's height?

Either works, but the Height Converter shows results in feet AND inches together, which is usually more natural for describing a person's height.

Is a foot always 0.3048 m, or does it vary by country?

The international foot is standardized at exactly 0.3048 m; older survey-specific feet exist but differ by a tiny, practically negligible fraction.

From the blog: getting the most out of this tool

Feet-to-meters is one of those conversions that shows up constantly in construction, aviation, and sports contexts, each with a slightly different phrasing of the same question — so we kept the tool generic enough to serve all three.

If you're converting a person's height rather than an object's, jump to the Height Converter instead — it's tuned to show feet-and-inches together instead of a decimal.
