    Convert Height Between Feet, Inches and Centimeters

    This height converter is built for English search intent around quick unit conversion: centimeters to feet and inches, feet and inches to centimeters, meters and total inches. It also includes a rough adult U.S. percentile reference for context.

    Not a pediatric growth chart
    The percentile reference is for adults 20+ using U.S. summary data. It should not be used to assess a child's growth, diagnose health status or replace clinical advice.

    Common Height Conversion Formula

    One foot equals 12 inches, and one meter equals 100 centimeters.

    • Use centimeters for metric forms, health records and many international charts.
    • Use feet and inches for U.S. and UK-style everyday height descriptions.
    • Use total inches when comparing formulas, clothing charts or equipment dimensions.
