How the feet to cm conversion works

The converter applies cm = feet × 30.48. One foot is 12 inches and one inch is exactly 2.54 cm, so one foot is 12 × 2.54 = 30.48 cm exactly. Going the other way, feet = cm ÷ 30.48.

Worked example: a person who is 6 ft tall is 6 × 30.48 = 182.88 cm, and a 10 ft ceiling is 304.8 cm. For heights written as feet and inches together (like 5'8"), use our height converter, which handles the inches part for you.
