How to convert cm to feet and inches
Height is measured in centimeters across most of the world and in feet and inches in the US and UK. To convert, remember that one inch equals 2.54 cm. Divide your centimeters by 2.54 to get total inches, then split that into feet (÷12) and the remaining inches. This converter does it for you and shows every format at once.

- cm → total inches: inches = cm ÷ 2.54
- total inches → feet & inches: feet = whole part of (inches ÷ 12); inches left over = the remainder
- feet & inches → cm: cm = (feet × 12 + inches) × 2.54
