📐 Height Converter
Convert height between centimeters and feet/inches.
About this tool
Converts height between metric (centimeters) and imperial (feet and inches) — useful for filling out forms, comparing heights across countries, or just satisfying curiosity.
For other measurements — weight, distance, temperature — the general Unit Converter covers those categories.
Worked example
180 cm converts to 5'11" — or going the other way, someone who's 6'2" is about 188 cm tall.
How to use it
- To convert cm to feet/inches, enter your height in centimeters and press Convert.
- To go the other way, enter feet and inches separately and press Convert.
- Read off the converted value in the result box.
Tips
- Most countries outside the US and UK use centimeters for height on official documents.
- Round to the nearest whole inch for everyday use — the tool also shows a decimal inch value for precision.
- For other measurements like weight or distance, use the general Unit Converter.
FAQ
How many cm is 5'10"?
Enter 5 feet and 10 inches into the imperial-to-metric box to get the exact figure instantly.
Is this the same as the general Unit Converter?
It's a focused version just for height, with feet-and-inches formatting that the general converter doesn't do.
Does it round the result?
Feet and inches are rounded to the nearest whole inch; centimeters are shown to one decimal place.
