About this tool
Forms ask for centimeters, profiles say 5'7" — this converter handles the exact conversion in both directions simultaneously: feet-and-inches to centimeters, and centimeters back to feet and inches.
Anchors: 5'7" = 170.2 cm, 6'0" = 182.9 cm, 160 cm = 5'3".
How to use
- Enter feet and inches on the left, or centimeters on the right.
- Read the conversion instantly under each side.
Frequently asked questions
170.2 cm — total inches (67) × 2.54.
Divide by 2.54 for total inches, then split by 12: 175 cm = 68.9 in = 5 ft 8.9 in.
The US, and informally the UK, still describe body height imperially — everywhere else uses centimeters, hence the constant converting.
