📏 Length Converter
Convert between meters, feet, miles, inches and more.
About this tool
Converts between nine common length units — meters, kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, miles, yards, feet, inches, and nautical miles — using a shared meter base so every pair stays consistent.
Useful whenever you need one length unit you don't normally think in, without hunting for the specific pair conversion.
Worked example
Converting 1 mile to feet gives 5,280 ft; converting 1 nautical mile to meters gives 1,852 m.
How to use it
- Enter a value.
- Choose the unit you're converting from.
- Choose the unit you want, and press Convert.
Tips
- For the two most-searched pairs — kg/lbs-style distance conversions like miles↔km and feet↔meters — our dedicated pair pages are faster if that's all you need.
- Nautical miles are used in aviation and marine navigation, not everyday road distances.
- All conversions route through meters internally, so results stay mathematically consistent across every pair.

Does it handle nautical miles?
Yes — 1 nautical mile is defined as exactly 1,852 meters, included alongside the more common units.
Can I convert millimeters to inches?
Yes, any combination of the nine listed units works in either direction.
From the blog: getting the most out of this tool
This is the flexible, do-anything sibling to our single-pair converter pages — same underlying math, but with a dropdown for the rarer combinations that don't deserve their own dedicated URL.
We kept the unit list to the nine that people actually search for rather than padding it with obscure historical units that would just add clutter.
