Convert a human height between centimeters, meters, and feet & inches — enter it in whichever format you have, and see all three at once, along with how it compares to typical adult height averages.
How to use it
- Choose the format you're entering the height in — centimeters, meters, or feet & inches.
- Type the value(s).
- Read off the equivalent in the other two formats, plus how it stacks up against average adult heights.
All conversion happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
How do I convert cm to feet and inches?
Divide the centimeter value by 2.54 to get total inches, then divide by 12 to get whole feet — the remainder is the leftover inches. So 170 cm is 66.93 total inches, which is 5 feet and about 6.9 inches. This tool does that arithmetic for you and rounds it to a sensible display value.
What's an average height?
Averages vary a lot by country and are updated periodically by health surveys — the reference figures shown here are commonly-cited adult averages (around 175 cm for US men and 161 cm for US women, and somewhat lower worldwide), meant as a general point of comparison rather than a precise clinical figure.
What if I need a different length unit, like miles or yards?
Use the Length Converter instead — it covers 31 length and distance units, from millimeters to light-years, but converts one unit to another rather than to the combined feet-and-inches format people use for height.
