Feet To Metres - Imperial To Metric Height Conversions

For passports and many medical forms you now need to supply your height in metres and centimetres rather than feet and inches. The converter above allows you to quickly convert between feet and inches and metres and centimetres when you need to find out your height in metres and centimetres. Just type your height into the feet and inches boxes to convert to metres or into the metres box to convert to feet and inches.

We also have a Stones to Kilograms Weight Converter and scientific/technical length conversions at MeasurementConversions.org where you can specify accuracy in significant figures or decimal places.
