Meters to Feet & Inches Converter

Convert meters to feet and inches with precision. Shows whole feet and remaining fractional inches.

How to use it

  • Enter meters to convert to feet and inches.

Examples

1.8 m5 ft 10.87 in

1 meter = 3.28084 feet, but a height rarely lands on a whole number of feet — so the useful answer is feet plus a remainder in inches, not a decimal. This tool converts meters to total inches first (meters × 39.3701), then splits that into whole feet and leftover inches.

1.8 m × 39.3701 = 70.87 inches → 5 whole feet (60 inches) with 10.87 inches left over, giving 5 ft 10.87 in.

Where this comes up

  • Sports statistics (athletics, basketball, swimming) that list heights in meters
