Feet to Meters Converter guide
What does this converter do?
This page converts feet (ft) to meters (m) instantly as you type. It is one focused pair from the full Length converter, which handles every supported length unit in both directions.
How is the conversion calculated?
Meters = Feet × 0.3048. Multiply the feet value by 0.3048. The factor is fixed, so the math is deterministic and repeatable.
When ft to m comes up
You are giving your height on a metric form, entering a room or plot size into software that expects meters, reading an American blueprint for a project built with metric materials, or comparing a US flight altitude, dive depth, or mountain elevation with figures published in meters. Runners converting a 400-foot hill climb to a metric training log and gardeners ordering metric fencing for a plot measured in feet also use it.
Quick mental rule
Multiply feet by 0.3 for a rough figure: 10 ft × 0.3 = 3 m versus the exact 3.048 m. Since the true factor is 0.3048, the shortcut underestimates by about 1.6% — add 5 cm for every 10 feet. Another way: divide feet by 10, then multiply by 3.
Worked example
Worked example: 10 ft converts to 3.048 m. Change the input above to convert your own value.
