Height (Feet & Inches to Centimeters) Calculator

The Height (Feet & Inches to Centimeters) Calculator converts heights entered in feet and inches into centimeters or meters instantly. It’s a simple, accurate tool built to make unit conversions quick and painless. Everything runs right in your browser. There’s no need to reload or submit anything results appear live as you type.

Whether you’re converting personal height, translating U.S. measurements for international documents, or building a dataset in metric units, this tool keeps things fast and frustration-free. You can adjust output settings with a few toggles, change units on the fly, and copy the result with one click. It works cleanly on its own or alongside other calculators in your workflow.

How to Use:

To get started, enter a height in feet and inches into the input fields. The calculator adds the values together, converts the total to inches, then multiplies by 2.54 to produce a centimeter result.

You control the output using these settings:

Toggles:

• Round result: This limits the result to two decimal places.
• Show unit: Adds cm or m to the end of the output.
• Verbose output: Displays each calculation step feet to inches, inches to cm, and meters if selected.

Modes:

Under the Convert To section, you can select the output unit:

• Centimeters (cm) Ideal for forms, health data, and everyday reference.
• Meters (m) Useful for science or when formatting for international audiences.

Buttons:

• Convert: Forces a refresh of the output in case you want to manually trigger it.
• Copy: Copies the final output to your clipboard. The tool gives visual feedback with a flashing border and a “Copied!” label so you know it worked.

Results update in real time with every change you make. You can enter partial inches, change units mid-way, or toggle verbose mode without needing to refresh.

What Height (Feet & Inches to Centimeters) Calculator can do:

Suppose someone is 5 feet 11 inches tall. The calculator instantly provides:

5 ft × 12 + 11 in = 71 in
71 × 2.54 = 180.34 cm

If meters are selected, you’ll see:

1.80 m

Verbose mode displays the breakdown clearly. Rounded or full decimal precision it’s up to you. And once you’ve got what you need, click Copy and drop it into any form or document.

Example:

Suppose you enter:

Feet: 5  
Inches: 11

With “Round result”, “Show unit”, and Convert To: Centimeters, the output will be:

180.34 cm

Now switch the mode to Meters, and the result updates to:

1.80 m

If you also enable Verbose output, you’ll see a detailed breakdown:

(5 ft × 12 + 11 in) = 71 in  
71 in × 2.54 = 180.34 cm  
180.34 cm ÷ 100 = 1.80 m

Or if you’re in centimeter mode:

(5 ft × 12 + 11 in) = 71 in  
71 in × 2.54 = 180.34 cm  
180.34 cm

This tool is perfect for converting height into metric units whether you’re filling out an international form, tracking fitness, or working with standardized data.
