One foot equals exactly 0.3048 meters, so every figure here comes from the official definition rather than a rounded 3.28 shortcut.

Free Meters to Feet Converter

One meter is 3.280839895 feet when you use the international foot of exactly 0.3048 m. This meters to feet calculator multiplies by that factor and also shows the length in feet and inches, centimetres, and yards. Swap the direction to convert feet to meters, including heights written as 5′ 11″. The chart below covers common values from half a meter to 200 m.

1 m = 3.2808 ft

How to Convert Meters to Feet

Multiply the meter value by 3.280839895, or divide by 0.3048. Both steps produce the same result because the foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. To split the answer into feet and inches, take the whole feet, then multiply the remaining fraction by 12.

Example: 1.75 m × 3.280839895 = 5.7415 ft. The fractional part 0.7415 × 12 ≈ 8.90, so the height is 5′ 8.90″. For the reverse path, multiply feet by 0.3048, or convert feet and inches to total inches first and multiply by 0.0254.

Why Use This Meters to Feet Calculator?

Converts as You Type

No convert button. Change the number and the result, formula, and other units update at once.

Feet and Inches Built In

Decimal feet and the 5′ 10″ style both appear, so heights and room sizes stay easy to read.

Works Both Ways

Swap turns it into a feet to meters converter and keeps your current value so you never retype it.

Free and Private

No sign-up and no server call. The maths runs on your device and keeps working offline.

How this Meters to Feet Calculator works

This meters to feet calculator multiplies meters by 1 ÷ 0.3048, which is 3.280839895 feet per meter. The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters under the 1959 international agreement, so the factor is exact rather than a rounded 3.28 shortcut. Going the other way multiplies feet by 0.3048. Type a length and the result updates at once, with no convert button in between.

Decimal feet are useful for plans and spreadsheets, but many people still read height as feet and inches. The tool splits the total into whole feet and remaining inches automatically, so 1.80 m appears as both 5.9055 ft and 5′ 10.87″. When you reverse the direction you can enter feet and inches yourself, which matches how US bathroom scales and clothing size charts often write height.

Every result also shows centimetres and yards so you can check the same length in the unit a form or quote actually asks for. Decimal place control only changes display rounding; the underlying conversion always uses the full factor. A reference chart lists common lengths from 0.5 m to 200 m for heights, rooms, and short distances. All arithmetic runs in your browser, works offline, and never sends the number you type to a server.

How to use this Meters to Feet Calculator

1

Pick a direction

Frequently Asked Questions

How many feet is 1 meter?
One meter equals exactly 3.280839895 feet when you use the international foot of 0.3048 m. Rounded to two decimals that is 3.28 ft; to four decimals it is 3.2808 ft. This page multiplies by 1 ÷ 0.3048 rather than a rounded 3.28 shortcut.
What is the formula to convert meters to feet?
Multiply meters by 3.280839895, or divide by 0.3048. Both are the same calculation. Example: 2 m × 3.280839895 = 6.5617 ft. To go back, multiply feet by 0.3048.
How do I convert meters to feet and inches?
First convert to total feet, then split the decimal into inches. Multiply the fractional foot by 12. For 1.80 m you get 5.9055 ft, which is 5 feet and 0.9055 × 12 ≈ 10.87 inches, written 5′ 10.87″. The tool shows that form automatically.
What is 10 meters in feet?
10 meters is 32.8084 feet, or about 32′ 9.7″. Other common values: 1 m is 3.28 ft, 1.5 m is 4.92 ft, 2 m is 6.56 ft, 5 m is 16.40 ft, and 100 m is 328.08 ft. The chart lower on this page lists more.
Is a foot exactly 0.3048 meters?
Yes. The international foot was fixed at exactly 0.3048 meters in 1959 by the English-speaking countries that use imperial units. Older US survey feet differ by a tiny amount and only matter for long cadastral distances, not everyday heights or room sizes.
Can I convert feet and inches back to meters?
Yes. Swap to feet to meters and turn on the feet and inches fields. A height written 5′ 11″ becomes 1.8034 m. Decimal feet also work if that is what you have.
How many centimeters is that in feet?
Centimetres are just meters × 100, so convert cm to m first (divide by 100), then use the same formula. 175 cm is 1.75 m, which is 5.7415 ft or 5′ 8.9″. This tool shows centimetres next to every result so you can check both systems at once.
Why do building plans and sports use different unit styles?
Metric countries write lengths in meters or centimetres. US and UK plans, athletics tracks described for US audiences, and many product specs still use feet and inches. A dual readout avoids mistakes when the same dimension appears in both systems on a quote or a listing.
How many decimal places should I use?
Two is fine for room sizes and rough height. Three or four help for fabrication, CNC work, or when a drawing calls for tighter tolerance. The precision control only changes display rounding; the underlying conversion still uses the full factor.
Is the conversion done on my device?
Yes. There is no server call and nothing is stored. The calculation runs in your browser as you type, so the result updates without a loading delay and still works if your connection drops.
