How this conversion works
Sometimes inches are just clutter: a 240 cm ceiling, a 300 cm wall, a 45 cm shelf depth. This converter takes centimetres straight to feet in one step, and feet back to centimetres, without the detour through inches.
Decimal feet are normal in surveying, construction drawings and shipping. For a person's height, where feet-and-inches is the natural language, use the height converter instead — it is linked below and in the related converters.
The exact formula
feet = centimetres ÷ 30.48
1 foot = 30.48 cm exactly. The reverse is centimetres = feet × 30.48.
