Length Converter

Convert between metric and imperial lengths: mm to inches, km to miles and more.

The Length Converter switches instantly between the metric and imperial systems that divide the English-speaking world: millimeters, centimeters, meters and kilometers on one side; inches, feet, yards, miles and nautical miles on the other.

Whether you are reading a European spec sheet, converting a height, planning a run or hike, checking room dimensions for furniture, or working with nautical distances, just type a number, pick the two units and the answer appears — with the 1-to-1 rate shown so you always see the relationship (for example 1 m = 3.28084 ft).

Conversions are exact because every unit is defined against the meter: an inch is exactly 2.54 cm, a foot exactly 0.3048 m, a mile exactly 1,609.344 m. All math happens locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert meters to feet?

Multiply meters by 3.28084: 10 m × 3.28084 = 32.81 ft. The converter does this instantly — type 10 with meters as the from-unit and feet as the to-unit.

How many centimeters are in an inch?

Exactly 2.54. The inch is defined as 2.54 cm by international agreement since 1959, which makes every imperial-to-metric length conversion exact rather than approximate.

Is a nautical mile the same as a regular mile?

No. A nautical mile is 1,852 meters (about 1.1508 statute miles) and is defined by one minute of latitude — which is why it is used in aviation and shipping. The converter includes it for exactly those users.
