Understanding the Height Converter

The US measures height in feet and inches while most of the world uses centimeters, so converting between them is one of the most common everyday lookups — for IDs, sports, dating profiles, medical forms and online shopping. 178 cm is 5 ft 10 in.

This converter switches between centimeters and feet-and-inches (and also shows meters and total inches), so you can enter either and instantly read the other. You can type heights like 5' 10".

Height Converter FAQ

Divide cm by 2.54 to get total inches, then split into feet (÷12) and remaining inches. 178 cm ÷ 2.54 = 70.1 in = 5 ft 10.1 in.
Yes — switch the direction and type like 5' 10" or "5 10" to get centimeters.
