Unit Converters
Feet to Meters Converter (ft to m)
meters = feet × 0.3048. The international foot is defined that way, not rounded.
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.

- The conversion (meters = feet × 0.3048. The international foot is defined that way, not rounded.) does not pick US vs UK gallons, SI vs binary megabytes, or Mach at altitude for you. Read the footnote on the page.

Frequently Asked Questions
This uses the international foot (0.3048 m exactly). US survey foot is a hair different; it almost never matters for a room.

- Chains to MetersGunter’s chain is 66 feet, which is 20.1168 m. Survey plats, cricket pitches (22 yards = 1 chain), and some railroad descriptions still use it. 80 chains make a mile. This is not an engineer’s 100 ft chain.
- Cubic Meters to Cubic FeetShipping containers, HVAC airflow, and mulch. Multiply m³ by 35.315. One cubic meter is 35.3 ft³. A 40 m³ truck is 1,413 ft³ — not a 40-foot container’s nickname.
- ft/s to m/sMultiply ft/s by 0.3048. Ballistics and old US textbooks love ft/s. 88 ft/s is 60 mph, which is 26.82 m/s. A 3,000 ft/s muzzle velocity is 914 m/s.
- Meters to FeetBuilding codes in meters, US listings in feet. Multiply meters by 3.28084. A 3 m ceiling is 9.84 ft, not “10 feet” unless you are rounding for a Facebook comment.
- Rods to MetersA rod (also perch or pole) is 16.5 ft = 5.0292 m. Four rods make a chain. Old US deeds stack rods, chains, and furlongs. If the deed says poles, it is this unit unless a local statute says otherwise.
- Square Meters to Square FeetApartment listings in Europe print m². US flooring quotes print square feet. Multiply by 10.7639. A 50 m² studio is 538 ft² — not “500 unless the agent rounded in your favor.”

A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.
Miles to Kilometers
Unit Converters
US road trips and marathon shirts speak miles. Highway signs in most of the world speak km. One mile is 1.609344 km. “Times 1.6” is fine in the car; use the exact factor for a race or a fuel log.
