The formula
One inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters:
cm = (feet × 12 + inches) × 2.54
Example: 5'9" = (5 × 12 + 9) × 2.54 = 69 × 2.54 = 175.3 cm.
FAQ
Which direction does the conversion go?
Both — edit feet/inches to get centimeters, or edit centimeters to get feet and inches.
How precise is the result?
Centimeters are shown to one decimal place, which is precise enough for height measurements — no rounding surprises for typical use.
What if I only know my height in meters?
Enter it in centimeters (e.g. 1.75 m is 175 cm) — the summary line also shows the meters figure for reference.
What is 6 feet in centimeters?
6 feet is 182.9 cm — (6 × 12 + 0) × 2.54 = 182.88, shown to one decimal place.
